My response is: what needs to be hidden can change day to day. Your controversial hot take today may become jailable sedition tomorrow.<p>The &quot;nothing to hide&quot; argument assumes power relationships are static or slow-moving. But the powerful can make new decisions about what information is incriminating based on what they find out by invading your privacy.

I think the protagonist&#x2F;antagonist of Anon said it best when she told the detective hunting her. &quot;It&#x27;s not that I have anything to hide. I have nothing I want you to see&quot;.
