As Eric Schmidt has put it: "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."

So if you don't want people to know you put a tape over your webcam, maybe you shouldn't do it. ;-)

Eric Schmidt would say something like that: https://wikileaks.org/google-is-not-what-it-seems/

Hey, remember when The Lower Merion Township School remotely enabled students' laptop webcams to capture students in various stages of undress at home?

Yeah sorry Eric is wrong on this one.

Eric Schmidt is wrong.

So by his logic, if I don't want people to know I'm seeing a therapist therefore I shouldn't be going to a therapist? Seriously, dude needs to kindly stuff it. Sorry for the snark, but it really annoys me when I see that "if you've done nothing wrong then you have no reason to hide" meme repeated.

So, I assume Eric Schmidt has not only publicized his e-mail password, bank account details & activities, full health record and all correspondence with insurance companies, but offers 24/7 live stream from his google glass to the world.

I can see where he is coming from, but this quote is wrong on so many levels.

"You have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide" -

Most commonly attributed to Joseph Goebbels in 1933.

That is not the problem with the statement, though.
