Comment on Data privacy: how to counter the "I have nothing to hide" argument?
ode@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year agobut the argument I have nothing to hide except bank account passwords etc is hard to argue with
It’s simple to argue against: any and all data points are either potential threat vectors, or will in aggregate paint a better picture of the individual they pertain to, for the data’s possessor to use as they wish. A default-deny policy for data creation/access makes as much sense for individuals as it does workplaces.

I get it, I’m telling you why it doesn’t resonate with 99% of people. Once you have to explain threat vectors people shut it down and call you a paranoid person.
Again, I don’t agree with it I’m just telling you why I have nothing to hide is so pervasive.
