Ok, here's an experiment for you. Why don't you broadcast every single detail of your life, every minute of it, even the parts you don't want others to see? If you don't, you must be hiding something and be committing crimes against humanity. This is how your argument reads.

You've cut out an important bit: I am not governing anyone, nor do I hold the right to murder other human beings without repercussion.

We don't know that. All we know is that you're keeping secrets.

Right now, I'm openly sharing something.

But you give us no proof of what you are saying.

We need a trusted entity to check what you are saying is true.

So how about a mother then, raising her child and pregnant with a second. Should she have to reveal every single detail about her life while she has parental custody?

I read the parent comment's argument as suggesting that secrets should be inversely proportional to power.
