What to say to people who say this kinda of thing? Usually I just say “ok then”
“Okay, then hand me your phone unlocked and give me as much time as I want to poke around your browser history, files, and photos.”
“well, let me come over to your house uninvited and walk around the rooms looking through your personal belongings”.
Some variation of the below:
Can I have your phone with the messaging apps unlocked?
Can I log into your personal email?
Can I see your tax returns?
Can I set up cameras and microphones in your house?
Can I place a GPS tracker on your car?
Insurance companies in some countries give you a discount if you agree to put a tracker on your car…
“Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.” - Edward Snowden
Ask to watch them pee. When they say no, ask what they do when they pee that they don’t want you to know about; that is the only reason they could want privacy, right?

We’re entitled to a reasonable amount of privacy, such as locks on our doors and curtains on our windows, why shouldn’t reasonable privacy also apply to our lives online?
That can change in an instant if the government ever decides to outlaw something you aren’t hiding.
That’s a choice they can make for themselves, not a choice tech companies and governments should make for everyone. If they want to trade their privacy, and I don’t - fine. All I want is the power to choose and know that choice will be respected.
Giving up your right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is like giving up your freedom of speech because you have nothing to say.
