People tend to feel attacked when you argue that they do, in fact, have something to hide. Even when you come from the perspective that everyone has something to hide, mostly small things.
I've had the best success with the argument I posted. It helps people understand that privacy isn't "hiding", it's normal. What's not normal is guaranteeing your government can see everything you do all the time, and we should think about whether that's what we want.
- lovelyviking 6y agoActually it reveals a twist in those in favour of surveillance . What they do they falsely accuse you of 'hiding' while you simply naturally expected not to be invaded. They invade you and then they they kind of ask you what is the problem? you have something to hide? And some people say : Oh, we have nothing to hide. But the problem is the fact of invasion, not wether they have to hide something or not. It's like someone invades your territory or takes your stuff and you say, oh, i don't really need those. It's not the problem wether you need those or not. The problem is that you can't decide about it anymore, you right to decide was taken away. In case of property you loose right to private property. In case of free speech you loose your right for free speech. In case of privacy you loose your right choose not to be watched. You loose ability to decide to be private if you wish. That is the problem.
