"I have nothing to hide." That's what most people say when I start a conversation about privacy. Have you ever wondered why you should use software that protects your privacy and the privacy of the people you communicate with? To understand this better, I recommend watching the first talk in our LibrePlanet 2023 lightning talk series. In her five minute talk, the speaker will convince you that you are worthy of all the privacy you want and need. For people who claim that they have nothing to hide, she has a persuasive reply: "I have nothing to hide, only everything to protect."

“It’s not that I have nothing to hide, it’s that I have nothing I want to share.”

People who say "I have nothing to hide" are just naive about what people can do with seemingly banal personal info.

Heck, it just takes one watch of any episode of Black Mirror to completely understand the consequences...
