‘I have nothing to hide’
-
Why do you close the door when you’re in the bathroom?
-
Why don’t you post your your bank login and password on twitter?
Privacy. Everyone understands, Everyone does that too.
But when it comes to being “Online” That goes away?
Scientia potentia est.. or the saying goes.
-
When somebody knows something over you, they can tease you.. or blackmail you.
-
They can influence you with news, ads, even blogs! (not even im safe… oOoOooO)
-
They can make a profile of you, Know things you only subcontiously know about.
-
Later, if the goverment changes, You dont know what will happen later, Governments, Laws, Norms change.
Example:
(Not a modern example but similar in fraiming)
Before the Holocaust, Germany had population info (Names, Addresses, Religion, Family ties) for administration and census purposes. When Nazi’s took over, they took that info, and found Jewish people easily and took them to there end. R.I.P. Source 1 Source 2 Source 3
Privacy gives you freedom of thought and speech
- If you are someone that thinks ‘I have nothing to hide’ - That right there is no freedom, It’s norms that survalence wants you to think.
‘ordinary’ people are exploited too.
-
Bank knows your spending habbits: they can deny a loan.
-
Employers can see your online presence: Not hire you.
-
Crash your car: Insurance gets raised… (extream but you get it… I think.)
Final.
Wanting privacy is good. Fight for it.
..Nuance
If you still dont care, At least now you know why it matters.
