>But if they are not out to get you, why act as though they should be? It’s probably better to be as inconspicuous as possible, while limiting the amount of data that might turn up in some bored agency’s random fishing expeditions.

This makes me so sad.

So what this person is saying is that under something like the Nazis or Stalin, they would have cruised right along. That is what they are actually saying, and that's all they're saying. Saying "I don't have anything to hide" really translates to "I am so far away from any adult responsibility and intelligence that I don't even realize I should be hiding that.", and anyone over 20 still saying shit like that you can write clean off, as far as I'm concerned.

"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say."
