Does this statement make your hair stand on end? Unfortunately, the “nothing to hide” argument has persisted for far too long and often prevents any constructive discussion about privacy protection on the Internet. It’s high time to debunk it.

When people ask me ‘are you hiding from the government’ it’s almost hilarious to me. I pay local taxes on property, I send the government tax forms every year, I vote prolifically in local and national elections. I have a calling and letter writing ‘campaign’ for my representatives to know just how much they are screwing up. I go to protests. If I were a person of interest, they’d come visit.
However, there is no requirement to overshare with anyone, and that’s where I am. I am not ‘hiding’ from anyone. I’m just pretty stingy with my data. Now, I realize there are some who must hide from their government, but to date, that’s not really in my threat model.
