It sounds like Schmidt supports things like the Patriot Act.

If he was against it he would have said something like "if you like your privacy don't put it on the internet". Instead, he said "you shouldn't be doing it in the first place".

This single phrase has a strong connotation that you are doing something bad. Schmidt doesn't strike me as being dumb enough to say this without knowing exactly how the public would interpret it.
