“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.

# End

Use E2E encryption, have less ‘smart’ devices, don’t use proprietary software, share less about yourself on the Internet.

(Btw, read 1984 book)
