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.
A very, very helpful article to help get people we fight with to understand why this is important for anyone and everyone. Send this to friends and family.

When it was Obama listening in on their phones, westeners agree.
When it was Biden or Trump listening in on their phones, westeners went quiet.
When it’s Xi selling phones unbugged, westeners grab your phone throw it on the ground, pour gasoline over it, light a fire, scold you and threaten your life.
They’re all bad.
Right???
It’s been my experience throughout the years.
I haven’t personally heard “I have nothing to hide”
since Huawei phones started to become banned in my country.
The moment they became popular they went from
“I’ve got nothing to hide” to “I’ve got nothing to hide, but this is different. Huawei is subject to the Chinese State.
Those other phones are made by our allies. We may have found time after time again that all phones of all our politicians have been tapped by the US and it’s true that no matter how hard our best security experts searched for listening bugs in these devices, they found diddly squat, but if you own one of those Chinese phones and think you’re not being listened to, than you’re being naive. Naive naive, !be scared!, naive national security naive.”.
