I'll try to tackle the idea that you have nothing to hide. Let's assume that every last moment of your life has been collected, indexed, then either sold or hacked. It's all out there, for anyone to see. If you think this is implausible, consider that most people are never outside of arms reach of their gps/microphone/camera and that much of the data that's ever been collected has already been hacked or sold.
Would you prefer to hide:
-recordings of your sexual encounters from your family?
-the raunchiest porn you've ever looked at from your co-workers?
-your live GPS location from home burglars?
-your bank account balance from friends?
-your tax filings from scam artists?
-your off-color remarks you made 15 years ago while drunk from the person conducting your job interview?
-the drugs you tried in college from law enforcement?
-The minor legal transgression you committed from the person looking to shut down your political protest?
-the psychological trigger even you were unaware of from the deep learning algorithm designed to addict you to gambling.
-your sexual orientation from the autocratic government of the vacation spot you visited?
The only people who truly have nothing to hide are those who truly have nothing to lose. If that's you, then I'm sincerely sorry.
