The point of the quote is that those who claim that you don&#x27;t need privacy if you have &quot;nothing to hide&quot; are wrong, because the power always can abuse information it gets, as long as it wants to target someone.<p><i>&gt; My point is they already have all they need, publicly available any time they desire it</i><p>Which doesn&#x27;t mean you need to be lax and give them even more, or even accept such situation as normal. Don&#x27;t feed the machine. To put it differently, the argument that &quot;privacy is dead, so ignore the issue&quot; is invalid and actually only facilitates the problem.
