Debunking the Greatest Privacy Myth (My title "Nothing to Hide")
« on: July 02, 2025, 03:27:18 am »
Ran across a video that talks about a phrase I hear here a lot.  How "if you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't worry about being tracked and having data collected on you"....

I also enjoyed his video (on his channel) about defeating facial recognition cameras.

Tell Tesla owners that were doxed and had websites documenting where they lived that "if they have done nothing wrong in buying a Tesla, then they have nothing to fear". Being Doxed by strangers you don't know is not only creepy, but can get you killed if you happened to stumble into them doing damage to your car/truck.Not to mention having to deal with getting your Tesla fixed and possibly having your insurance raised.

My retort is if I have nothing to hide then why do you need to look, and what are you looking for?

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

MYOB.

Only reason I see for all that snooping is to see if you have something worth taking, and to find a way to take (steal) it.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Others do not have a God-given right to know my business.

The only reason to surveil me is to take something from me.
