What kind of boring fuck has nothing to hide?

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 28 points 10 months ago

It is worse than that, you can't trust a person with nothing to hide.

If a person have nothing to hide, that means that by definition anything told to them will be pubic information.

I would never be able to trust someone like that, I need to be able to confide in my friends and know that the information will be kept private.

A person with no secrets can't be trusted.

I'm already bored to tears!

Oh yeah! Well I don't care about my life because I have nothing to live for.

Too real man, too real

Kinda like how fascism isn't really that big of a deal, as long as you agree with all the life choices of your dictator

Saying i don't care about privacy because i have nothing to hide is like saying i don't care if someone searches inside my ass at an airport because i have nothing to hide .

[–] MaxHardwood@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

While they're searching up there, what if they find things that aren't illegal? Can you request they put them back?

[–] THE_ANON@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You can try putting a request on their website which won't work if you run an adblocker or reject cookies.

I always knew cookies were code for something

Having nothing to hide isn't the problem. Not caring about privacy is. Activists, lawyers, journalists, doctors, politically opressed, some kinksters and the likes need protection!

When someone says they have nothing to hide it tells me two things about them:

  1. They are a liar
  2. They have something to hide

They need to protect their patient's data.

Ah didn't think of that

Everyone's a criminal if you look long and hard enough.

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago

Everyone's a criminal, depending on what is considered a crime.

I always ask the people who "have nothing to hide" if they also leave the door open when they go to a public restroom.

How about I have a lot to hide but I'm too lazy to care about opsec lmao

[–] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

This is a quote from Edward Snowden btw.

Everyone should read his book.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If anyone tells you that, ask to dig through their underwear drawer.

[–] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

It's not a drawer, it's a clothes basket in the living room and you're welcome to dive in any time.

[–] JayObey711@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I don't care about freedom of science and education because I'm dumb as shit

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

People, especially guys, who say they have nothing to hide will still be using incognito mode for a few minutes a day.
