I think it should become law that anybody who uses the "Nothing to hide; nothing to fear" argument in any privacy discussion has to immediately disclose their fully browsing history
@udell_games or their medical history. But only the medicines they've been prescribed, so that we could assume the most shameful reason there might be.
@amaral That's devilishly good!
@udell_games They won't, these people aren't stupid. They're simply hypocritical.
I like this metaphor, by the way: "You've nothing to hide, me neither — that's why we wear clothes".
@udell_games Agreed! and their tax returns!
@udell_games I don't hide shit BECAUSE I have stuff to fear, and I'm more comfortable saying "fuck the world" than always trying to figure out what is and what isn't safe to share.
But that is MY right path, not the path that EVERYONE should take. In fact I know a few people who if they told me they were going to just stop worrying about privacy online I'd tell them they were making a big mistake. The things they have to fear are different from the things I have to fear.
@udell_games I like to say that phrase should put innocent people on edge. It often means the small, harmless things you hide are going to be criminalized.
@udell_games
why stop there? id like entire email history, every social media interaction, bank statements, insurance claims, and of course, the address of their grandparents house.
nothing to hide, right? i promise the only thing ill do is publish anything i think is interesting. i think everybody deserves to know then.
@udell_games I would just ask for access to their email :)
@udell_games they should also agree to turn over the login and password to every site.
@udell_games The best counter to that argument is asking if they close the door when they go to the bathroom. What do they have to hide in there? 
Like, ok, if you're sure, back it up
