The problem I have with the "nothing to hide" argument is that it is aimed at secrecy and hence invalid. The issue is never about secrecy, it's about privacy, and that's a huge huge difference.
"I dont need privacy because I have nothing to hide" doesn't make much sense.
I have long looked for a more crystal clear way of formulating the importance of privacy and why it's different from having something to hide.
