My response to the "I have nothing to hide" argument:
i) do you wear clothes? You are hiding yourself! Why not walk naked down the street? You have something to hide.
ii) do you have curtains on your house? Why? (The answer is almost never "to keep out there light") Most people walk fully clothed in their own house. You have something to hide.
I also liken dragnet surveillance (a major reason on why we need E2EE) to upskirting. People have a basic right to assume some privacy even when in public... Otherwise the objectionable practice of upskirting should be legal too.
- kempbellt 7y agoWhy not walk down the street naked? I'd love to, but then I'd get arrested. Irony... Cheekiness aside ( Pun ;) ), I second your point. "Having something to hide" is frequently conflated with "not wanting to share something with everyone that I don't need to".
