"I have nothing to hide."

@pnairolf even funnier, sometimes illegallness may backpropagate! The fact, that it was legal back then, doesn't guarantee anything
like, by Russian constitution, laws cannot have reverse power, but then they introduced concept of «ongoing crime»
basically, if you posted something, while it's still available — it's subject to the most recent law. You posted a quote of an opposition politician, and don't removed it when they were declared extremist? You're now guilty of spreading extremist information. No, forgetting is not an excuse

Privacy was never about hiding crimes. It was always about owning your life.
@Tutanota when your boss badly want to know where you stand on tax policy, trust me, you have a lot to hide from people that have no right to intrude in your life.

@The_Universality @Tutanota Nixon -> Richard -> Dick

Well, in case you decide for a pig I suggest Donald, with or without the surname.

@Tutanota I tried what that guy on YouTube said: when people tell me they have nothing to hide I ask them to share their email password with me. I promise to do no wrong at all, I'd just login occasionally, read some emails and leave. No damage, no writing, no deleting, no traces left. So far they all refused
@pepintheshort @Tutanota you should have also asked for their door key (actually, you could even ask why they have one), promising that you won't touch anything, just share photos of their household goods to everyone you know...

@SoftwareTheron @Tutanota Two crossbows!

Wait.
WAIT!
(This is actually the first time someone suggested this. But I wouldn't find this one that harmful.)

Still I don't know to what event is that refering to nor what were the arguments.

@The_Universality
I'm old.There was, and probably still is, a claim among some right-wing Americans that they have guns to protect them from the state, and that the state is continually trying to constrain their ownership of weapons.
The same people claim(-ed) to believe strongly that only those with something to hide should be frightened by intrusive law enforcement and data-gathering. Generally, what they actually meant was "The cops are on our side and we should be able to know everything about you". Especially in an LGBTQ+ context. Not illegal, but being strongly resisted by exactly these people.
I wish I'd thought to point this contradiction out to them when I knew some, in the very early days of social media.

@SoftwareTheron That is indeed contradicting statement from their side, then.

I hope the one saying that would stand by that when someone leaked their secrets.
Similarly for nation-states. -

@Tutanota One of the reasons I recently moved all sensitive communications off Gmail: I had made a doctor's appointment and was subsequently presented with ads everywhere for conditions I made have because Gmail had registered me as going to that specialist. No separate Google searches on the issue, just one email and they targeted me accordingly. Gmail will use everything you do and write on that platform to feed their profile of you.

@Tutanota What you feel you need to hide isn't really up to you. That's imposed on you by social and political circumstances and those change over time.
