As Eric Schmidt has put it: "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."

So if you don't want people to know you put a tape over your webcam, maybe you shouldn't do it. ;-)

Eric Schmidt would say something like that: https://wikileaks.org/google-is-not-what-it-seems/

Hey, remember when The Lower Merion Township School remotely enabled students' laptop webcams to capture students in various stages of undress at home?

Yeah sorry Eric is wrong on this one.

I commented on this related to a blind programmer: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11887301

Eric Schmidt is wrong.

So by his logic, if I don't want people to know I'm seeing a therapist therefore I shouldn't be going to a therapist? Seriously, dude needs to kindly stuff it. Sorry for the snark, but it really annoys me when I see that "if you've done nothing wrong then you have no reason to hide" meme repeated.

So, I assume Eric Schmidt has not only publicized his e-mail password, bank account details & activities, full health record and all correspondence with insurance companies, but offers 24/7 live stream from his google glass to the world.

I can see where he is coming from, but this quote is wrong on so many levels.

That is not the problem with the statement, though.
