"I have nothing to hide."

[pepintheshort@ieji.de]

@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

@Tutanota genau so ist es ️

@Tutanota And what is legal today could be illegal tomorrow

[cockneylaurie@mastodonapp.uk]

@Tutanota

Not just financial behaviour but also passwords/access to your finances which crooks would love to gather up and use to steal all your money!

[mo@mastodon.ml]

@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

@Tutanota
- I have nothing to hide.

- Let me watch you poop.

[pypebros@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota you only have nothing to hide until someone decide they will harm you because you're different.

[vegafjord@bustyvelbolet.no]

@Tutanota You also expose your peers privacy.

[bart@floss.social]

@Tutanota It may be hard to realize but a lot of people don't care about hiding those things either.

[donigula@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota they have made a machine that can bypass HIPPA/doctor-patient confidentiality laws. If your doctor asks AI "my patient has xyz..." AI knows who the doctor is talking about because the system says you had an appointment around then, and you google similar symptoms...

You may find yourself out of a job or you may find yourself not getting jobs or promotions because of a medical condition. Best believe that's the plan.

@Tutanota Under perfect surveillance, everyone is a criminal.

Crime and law is a subjective construct, not an objective one. If it was, courts, trials and appeals wouldn't exist.

[tuutw@mastodon.nl]

@Tutanota You have something to protect.

[loyhena@eldritch.cafe]

@Tutanota

You have a butthole.

You got nothing to hide ? Then show the world your butthole. With your name written next to it, and the name of where you work.

@Tutanota "You have your own value."

[notknown@infosec.exchange]

@Tutanota

It's not about hiding. It's about choice.

Giving over complete control of every facet of what makes me an individual to complete strangers , isn't something I would ever choose to do willingly.

Choice is what the tech industry has taken from everyone in exchange for their power and profit. Constant surveillance is only the latest layer.

[flashmobofone@mstdn.social]

@Tutanota And privacy is a basic right, not a privilege for people with nothing to hide.

[crazyeddie@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota Right. If I ain't got nothing to hide I ain't got no life.

At this point I think it's our psychology we want to hide the most. It's also the toughest now. If we don't, then we're fed exactly what is needed to make us think the way certain people want us to think. So if you want to think for yourself, protect your psychology and don't let people know it too well.

Don't cast your pearl before swine.

But again, if you don't care to think for yourself--if you don't like it--then ...

[crazyeddie@mastodon.social]

@pepintheshort @Tutanota Did you offer them anything?

Someone did that to me but they offered me a free email account and I said, "Yeah, sure...whatever. Here you go."

I've heard a coke can go a long way. Give someone a Coke and then ask your ridiculous favor.

[bishopjoey@writing.exchange]

@Tutanota And louder for the folks in the back: Orwell's 1984 was a *warning* not an *instruction manual*.

And yet? Here we are.

[crazyeddie@mastodon.social]

@The_Universality @Tutanota "I have nothing to hide." ... "Why am I being arrested for having my Nixon out?"
