Crush

As a privacy advocate, I consider phones and computers an extension of human thought and conscience. Some of us even keep our diaries on our devices.

That said, the sentiment I often encounter is that we hand over our devices at the demand of our partners if we "have nothing to hide". I'm not so sure I agree with this.

A private conversation is supposed to remain private . I trust my partner 100% and will never demand their device.

Thoughts?

Your poll assumes the only choice a person has is between the device for their eyes only or hand over to another to browse because you have nothing to hide.

You can choose not to share your information. That doesn’t mean someone has something to hide.

People have a right to privacy. It’s not everyone else’s business what you think or say and do.

I think that was the point. You can choose not to share your information, and that should be the norm instead of the exception.

The options could just as well be interpreted as "I think it is reasonable for a partner to expect me to let them go through my device" and the opposite.

The "privacy matters" option is the equivalent to choosing not to share your information. Maybe I could has phrased the options differently.
