Fundamental questions arise on whether we truly require privacy. One might question the necessity of privacy, thinking, “Why would someone like me need to hide something? Am I a criminal or a celebrity?”. However, there are genuine reasons why anyone should be entitled to confidentiality, regardless of their status. Privacy is a fundamental right and a matter of personal liberty. As privacy activists assert, it’s about ”liberty versus control”. Liberty requires security without intrusion, security plus privacy.
The “nothing to hide” term has always felt weird to me. It implies you are doing something wrong, which assumes the person wanting to look is right.
I prefer “It’s dangerous to be right when the government is wrong” instead.
Not to mention, I prefer to not be part of the post-sale monetization revenue stream. Or be constantly bombarded by ads. Or to have my PII or other sensitive information leaked all over the place because basically all companies are absolute shit at infosec at some point in time, in one way or another.
