Well, maybe politicians should not do naughty things. If they are using gmail for lawbreaking then I am in favour of google outing them.

- JadeNB 16y agoThis seems to me like a variant of the ‘nothing to hide’ argument, which Bruce Schneier (http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/12/my_reaction_to.html http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/12/my_reaction_to...), Daniel Solove (http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=998565 http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=998565), and others have thoroughly rebutted. It's true that politicians should be subject to more scrutiny than the rest of us, but that doesn't mean that they should have no privacy. Do you trust Google to make that decision about politicians? Once politicians are afraid of the power that Google wields, do you trust them to protect you from Google?
