- zingplex 6y agoWhat he is doing is simply restating the "I have nothing to hide" argument in the context of a different right, in this case the right to free speech. He is doing so to illustrate that the argument is not presenting a justification for the systemic violation of a human right but instead relying on an unstated assertion that the a given persons disinterest in a specific legal protection is an adequate pretext for its removal.
