Also, what a lot of "I have nothing to hide" people miss is that stuff-that-needs-to-be-hidden depends on social and political climate at any given moment and changes with time.
Being pregnant while crossing the US border used to be a non-issue, nothing-to-hide type thing. Now US fascist lawmakers are pushing for pregnancy tests at the border.
This is just a very fresh example, there are endless others.
"I don't care about privacy because I have nothing to hide" always misses the point.
Privacy is about being able to decide for yourself what others know about you and what they're allowed to do with what they know.
Privacy is about setting boundaries to technology and those who are building it.
Privacy is about having a say in who should get to shape our future.
A handful of billionaires (and an especially vile trillionaire)?
Or us?
