One of the most important responsibilities of being privileged (in this case, having nothing to hide) is that your demands for privacy act as a buffer for those who are vulnerable.

I think of it as a sort of herd immunity against overreach. “Something to hide” isn’t implicitly bad, it’s just not something you want shared. Cory Doctorow’s take on this is “everyone knows what you do on the bathroom, they don’t mean you want it visible to everybody”

Sure I don’t have anything to hide, but if we all stand up for privacy, then we’re all protected.
