Anyone who says "I don't have anything to hide" I think is making a mistake of thinking that they're the ones who get to decide that. Just look at what happened when John Podestas emails got leaked. The fact that he had talked about food, one of the most innocuous things you could possibly imagine, inspired an unimaginable amount of belligerent morons to construct Rube Goldberg conspiracy theories about child abduction, rape, and murder.

Anyone who says 'I have nothing to hide' really needs to consider things like that, and things like the fact that societal attitudes change. What was perfectly acceptable and normal conversation 25 years ago could absolutely burn you to the ground and ruin your life today if a reliable record of it could be found. When one of Trumps sons somehow gets elected and starts hunting down everyone who spoke ill of his daddy, I don't think "oh but it was accepted at the time" is going to cut it.
