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 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.
