“I have nothing to hide”.
It’s become a default response from many to overreaching surveillance.
When did privacy start being about having something to hide? It used to simply be about having the right to decide for ourselves who gets access to our data. But over the past decade we’ve lost that choice, and so much of our personal and sensitive information is shared without our knowledge or explicit consent.

In this video I want to give you a list of arguments you can use in response to anyone who dismisses the importance of privacy because they “have nothing to hide”.

01:33 Privacy is About Consent
02:35 Nothing to Hide, Everything to Protect
04:34 Privacy is NOT Dead
05:18 Your Data Is Forever
06:03 It’s Not About You
08:14 Uncertain Future
10:10 Surveillance Stifles Creativity and Dissent
11:30 Surveillance Isn’t About Criminals
12:29 Your Data Puts Others at Risk
14:25 You Send A Signal With Your Choices
16:21 A Fight We Can’t Afford to Lose

Surveillance is a weapon that is too often used to silence opposition, suppress individuality, and enforce conformity. Privacy is what allows us to think, act, and connect without fear. Without privacy, we lose the ability to dissent, to innovate, and to live freely. The next time someone says, “I have nothing to hide,” remind them of this: Privacy isn’t about hiding. It’s about protecting your rights, your choices, and your future.
