@Tutanota Everyone has something to hide, when you go to the Toilet you hide yourself!
@Tutanota The first phrase can often be followed by a «why are you doxxing me?» and the retort «why would you want your address and phone number hidden?»
@Tutanota
I love the Terry Pratchett quote
Commander Vimes didn’t like the phrase ‘The innocent have nothing to fear’, believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like ‘The innocent have nothing to fear’.
@Tutanota "Nothing to hide no reason to look"
@Tutanota nobody is innocent. no one can judge whether anyone is innocent.
and the "stupid stuff"you say, I have a batter words:无欲则刚, and it's no stupid.
@Tutanota innocent until proven otherwise.
Surveillance assumes not innocent
@Tutanota "If you have nothing to hide, then keep your fingers crossed that your very existence isn't declared illegal one day."
@Tutanota You have nothing to fear, if you have nothing to lose.
@Tutanota there is a lot to hide that is nobody else's business, especially if you don't violate the law, and everyone should be able to decide for themselves what they disclose, and those who really harm the people, embezzle data and personal rights, are neither controlled nor punished, it's a crazy world
@Tutanota Saying "If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear" shows a distinct lack of imagination, both when considering things to fear, and things to hide.
"I am fine with surveillance, I haven't done anything wrong"
Second person "until someone changes the definition of 'wrong' ."
@Tutanota its the panopticon, the Politicians can see they are losing control of the narrative so we need to be controlled.
@Tutanota You are 💯 right. Privacy is a human right not something bad or illegal.
