I'm sure many of you have had some variation of the "I don't care about my privacy because I have nothing to hide!" conversation with other people.

I'm curious, how do you respond to that? Let's collect some talking points and inspire each other!
My typical response is a variation of "Privacy isn't just about hiding something. It's about being able to decide for yourself what others know about you and what they do with that knowledge."

#privacy #DataProtection@r_alb here are mine:
1. If you have nothing to hide, can I have access to all your e-mail and IM communication? We can set it up such that I only have strictly read-only access. That cool, right?
2. Privacy isn't just about what we share with whom now, but who gets access to this in 5-10-15 years and how the context changes. You don't know you might have something to hide because you don't know who will be looking at this data in the future, and what that data might *mean* then.

#privacy #DataProtection@r_alb Depending on the people I use variation of:
- if you have nothing to hide, then why do you have curtains in the bedroom?
- if you have nothing to hide, then why do you close the door when you go to the toilet?
- if you have nothing to hide, then I surely can go through all the drawers in the bedroom?
- if you have nothing to hide, then please give me your bank account statements from the last year.
- if you have nothing to hide, then I please let me read all of your emails. -

@r_alb also, one of my favorite quotes on the subject, author unknown:
> I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are.

I've also used the curtain metaphor a few times, it really gets people startled. -

#privacy #DataProtectionThe ability to learn about something objectively without a search engine/agent/application deciding what you want based on your prior searching habits...or worse, the interests of completely different people who happen to share a few common elements of an artificial profile.
This is related to the importance of preserving a degree of serendipity in finding new information.
