“I have nothing to hide”
If you think that you are OK with mass-servelilance this post for you.

Simple test
Let’s start with simple test - send me (or whoever sent you this page) your login:password(+2FA code) to your email address. I will just look into your emails. You have nothing to hide, remember?
##
You really sent it
If you really sent
Here is a question - What if I actually will look not only in you emails, but also will recover some of your accounts linked to this email, let’s say:
- look into your messeges on social media,
- or check your financial situation,
- or check which porn you like…
What, you don’t like it? You said that you have nothing to hide! So turns out you have things to hide. And that’s totally fine.

What If…
##
..You don’t have privacy rights?
Government may monitor your private messeges.
Oh, wait. It’s already happening.
(anyway like 80-90% of government requests to companies will be accepted)
Government may check your photo gallery.
oh…… wait……
##
..You are monitored 24/7?
Then it will turn out that you are in fact a criminal. Have you ever crossed the street in the wrong place or at a red light? Actually it’s a felony (in most places). A misdemeanor, but still you are breaking a law and have to pay a fine.
Sounds very dystopian but just check out have many cameras on streets! They literally everywhere! Just give government a reason to automatically fine people for any misdemeanor and it will be our new reallity.
