If you’ve ever said, “If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about,” go tell your spouse what you said to your best friend the last time you had a marital spat. Track your time at work in great detail for the next month, down to the minute, and share the results with your boss.

Put a webcam in your bathroom. Post your tax returns online. Tweet your social security number.

#Privacy isn’t just for bad guys.

@maxleibman what a fallacy. It's like wearing clothes: except for the religious deranged, people don't wear clothes to hide their bodies but to protect them.
@maxleibman There is also the issue of expressing opinions contrary to an unsafe political climate in which one might find oneself.
@ted_duffield @maxleibman Not to mention such mundane things as banking.

@maxleibman Agreed. I also wish it really was about the speaker's privacy but the phrasing is revealing: It's "You have nothing to hide" instead of "We have nothing to hide."

The folks who make that claim never really care about privacy as long as they're the ones in charge of the panopticon and can keep it pointed at the outgroups they don't like.

@maxleibman

If I have nothing to hide, the Gov ppl that watch me should have nothing to hide either, so I should know everything and anything about them as they do about me. We need a #BillOfPrivacyRights.

@maxleibman Anyone who has ever been stalked has taken this to heart. You get really paranoid about everything they might be able to dig up.
