‘I have nothing to hide’ is killing the privacy argument
of course it is. because it is the right argument against privacy.<p>I love to scratch my balls and I do it at home with my wife in the room proudly.<p>I am a cynique. My dream as a man would be to wank like a dog on the public space and that putin or bill gates came to me asking me if I needed something (probably to stop disgracing the place).<p>In my dreams I answer &quot;Move your ass from my sun, I already have the best I wish, and the sun whatever the fuck powerful you think you are is not in your power to command&quot;.<p>The guy probably would have asked me if I was not fearing him and I would have answered: are you waking up every morning and looking up in the mirror thinking you are a bad guy? No. Should I fear the good guys?<p>Knowing the answer, I would have had resumed wanking again.<p>But the actual modern internet is all about self censorship by bigotry. If they were less bigotry internet would be a tad better.<p>Nowadays, living like a dog as a choice is not possible anymore. So when I basically tell the story of Diogenes who made fun of Alexander the Great, I see a problem with our civilization pretending that our society is better and more free than the Athenian democracy because we have no more slaves.<p>I would say the opposite: we are now all slaves. Especially from not only bigotry and the fear of the disapprobation of the moeurs, but also the fact there is an asymmetry between the citizens that must strip without consent of their privacy, while the more powerful shield themselves in invisibility cloaks.<p>And if someone read greek old myths as I do, we all remember the Gyges ring parabol about how substracting yourself from the public view is a perfect tool for planning and hiding crimes.<p>So my problem with the privacy always boils down to: 
who watches the watchmen (Allan Moore 1996)<p>EDIT conclusion what cynism tells about privacy
Fear not who you are, because the pressure of feeling observed is our universal moral compass. There is no morality possible without accepting fully your own nature and build you life centered around not the picture a society have of you, but around your true nature. The true slavery is the one of imposed morality. Hence the true face of slavery is a society that requires privacy to function properly. Care not about the eyes of the others, care about your own weakness at not accepting your differences.
