Privacy is a human right closely related to freedom of speech. It's essentially the reverse of freedom of speech: it's the freedom to listen, and to learn about new ideas, without fear of punishment. Saying you don't need privacy because you have nothing to hide is exactly like saying you don't need free speech because you have nothing to say.

How.
You ask them to give their facebook and google password.
Or you bring the example of US spying on EU big industries through backdoors.
If they keep arguing that if they'll use privacy when they'll send sensible data, you explain that the fact you're sending/using only then encrypted data already gives away the fact that there is something to hide, thus partially nullifying the effect of hiding something.
You ask them what will they do when the state use potentially harmless info against them.
You ask them their porn search history.

Plenty of way to argue, you're just bad at it.

This also applies to curtains.

Normal people draw their curtains at night because of how easy it is for bypassers to look in. It's not because they have something to hide, but it's because they want privacy in their own home.

Just like I want privacy when browsing the Internet. The bypassers are random people I will never meet or see again, and will most likely only see me stare at the TV, but I still feel uncomfortable knowing people can see me.

why are you so desperate to convince them of your opinion? i'm all for personal privacy, but you can't expect everyone to care, especially when most people don't even know what's happening. people who aren't that familiar with the internet won't know that they are being tracked or spied on. snowden changed nothing, it actually got worse afterwards.

One facet of this argument that goes largely undiscussed (and is something your friend may care about) is that it is bad for an imperfect government to be able to predict all crime. Some of the greatest steps forward in human history were only made possible by people being able to hide information from their government. If the church had access to Galileo's research journals and notes we could be hundreds of years behind in our scientific growth. If the government had unlimited access to the networks of civil dissidents blacks may have never fought off Jim Crow. If King George had perfect information America would never have been a country. There is no government on earth that is perfect, and therefore there is no government on earth that can act responsibly with unlimited access to information. A government is unlikely to be able to distinguish between a negative and positive disruption to it's social order and laws, and it therefore follows that an unlimited spying program can only hinder the next great social step forward. Don't fear the surveillance state because you might have something illegal, fear the surveillance state because it is a tremendous institutional barrier to meaningful societal progress.
edit: Thanks for the gold and kind words strangers. If you have some extra time or are in need of some cash, don't be afraid to wade into the murky and exhausting world of political activism. Even if you only make a difference at the local level you can make the world a better place, and that's rad.

Checked. Also rights are a social construct. This is nature, bitch. Rights and laws are decided upon the rulers of the land. These laws evolve for better or worse over time until the government gains too much power and collapses and society restarts with a fresh infrastructure. New laws, new rights, new social norms, etc.. It's happened dozens and dozens of times in human history. It's happening now.

If you have nothing to hide from the government than you have a very boring life.

Also, the real answer is privacy. The same reason people don't live in transparent houses.

Greetings, King George III. Remind me again, what was that Declaration thing those uppity colonists wrote? Something about being "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights"?
It's a funny kind of peasant who believes he's a free man with rights that can't be taken away by a despotic government, don't you agree, your Grace?

In all seriousness, people like you need to learn the difference between rights and privileges. Rights are innate. Privileges are social constructs.

And your right to privacy is a right, not a privilege.
Because of this, it is none of your business if I want to hide what's on my computer even if nothing is there simply because it's my property, and I don't want you invading my privacy.
Similarly, if you don't care about your own privacy, you're free to let Google, the government, Microsoft, and everyone else under the sun to endlessly spy on your every keystroke. But just because you don't care about the former does not mean everyone should be subjected to the latter.

You nerds need to into the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Privacy is a human right. It cannot and will not be taken away.

Do you truly believe this pile of horseshit? Giving your password to a random person or even a friend is not private. Massive data sifting computers that see your search terms and shit is nothing in any way like giving your password to a human.

You people seem to be under the impression that at least one of not multiple people see all or any of your data. You're an idiot to believe the government has the man power to personally view ~16 hours of activity a day per person of data.

Not to mention these so called privacy invading workers have an obligation to make no changes to your account and won't spend your money or harm your life in any way unless you get theoretically flagged for terrorism.

You are born and given the opportunity, no, the privilege of being alive. You do not have the right to privacy, food, shelter or anything else just because you are alive in a first world country that hands shit to people at the cost of collected data for ads.

The manpower doesn't matter. What the government shouldn't have is the ability to breach the privacy of its citizens without due process and a warrant. That kind of power, while not used for evil today, could be used by evil men tomorrow to instill a tyrannical regime which is why we have the Fourth and Second Amendments in our Constitution.

Jesus, dude, you really don't get it, do you? The difference between our government and other governments is that here the government was built around the rights of the people. Ours is the only government that fundamentally must respect our human rights. Our government was built to respect our rights to speak our minds, peaceably assemble, defend ourselves and our freedoms from would-be despots (like you), and more.
And you have such a hard-on for nature. Tell me, do governments exist in nature? No, they don't. According to your woodland logic, that must mean that governments don't exist.

Plus the fact that you tried to list food and shelter as rights simply proves further that you have absolutely no clue what you're on about. I suggest you stop digging this hole for yourself and instead read the Constitution already. Gee, I wonder where I've heard that before.

Again, the fact that you don't care when people trample all over your right to privacy does not mean that your right to privacy does not exist. That's like saying that because you don't own a gun, nobody is allowed to own a gun. What you're saying does not make any sense.

You're the one who still doesn't get it. All of these other places that don't have rights to privacy enacted are proof that your right to privacy is a privilege of America. Not a right. You have the right to nothing.

Just because America's constitution gives us the 'right' to privacy IF we reside in America doesn't mean it's a creator given human right. Just because Saudi Arabia "invades my privacy" doesn't mean they're trampling on my rights, it means their government isn't giving me the privilege to privacy.

Just because America does something does not make it universal. I'm not saying nobody should have privacy. Privacy is a good thing. But it's not a human fucking right by any sense of the word and the Constitution does not define nature or natural rights. It's just the law of the land and nothing more. It also only matters as long as you are in that said land and nowhere else.

The Constitution was what the founders used to identify what our human rights ARE for the government so it could be properly kept in its rightful scope. NO GOVERNMENT BESTOWS RIGHTS. Tyrannical governments are oppressive when they deny the existence of rights as you are doing right now.

I "get it" when you speak. I get that you're an ignorant useful idiot who would trade every last bit of freedom he has because his government told him it isn't real. People like you are the reason countries like Saudi Arabia get away with pretending citizens have no rights in the first place. They do have rights. Their rights are being restricted by tyrants who need to be deposed by their people. You have a lot of reading to do. I suggest starting with the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, then moving on to Frederic Bastiat's "The Law". Don't worry, the words aren't too hard for you to read.

You're still being retarded, though. That's the issue.

You missed the part where rights don't exist. Saudi Arabia isn't restricted rights, it's refusing to give rights. 2 humans in the wild and only one rabbit, somebody is going to hurt the other or tie them up if they have CIVILITY in order to eat and not starve.

Rights are not God given or given by nature. They are given by civilized governments. Something you still don't understand.

Again, America and many other places give their people's many rights including the right to privacy which is a good thing.

But say it with me. ONE COUNTRIES CHOICES DO NOT DEFINE WHAT IS GIVEN TO A HUMAN BY NATURE. Privacy is not given to you by nature. It's given to you by your government.

I'm not arguing your precious constitution. I'm arguing what you think the Constitution was made for. It was made so that the people's of America had certain unalienable rights while in America. It was never mentioned or said that every single human on the planet forever before and after America's rise and fall would these rights remain because nature demands it.

>SECURE the blessings of liberty
Not "grant", not "allow", not "bestow".
"Secure." You claim the Constitution "gives" rights to Americans. It does no such thing. It doesn't claim to do so. If you actually would READ it, you'd understand. But you don't. You're content with your nihilistic interpretation of life which leads you to the Godless conclusion that you are nothing more than an animal with no rights and no freedoms.
The rights of Americans are the rights of every man, and if their governments do not recognize their right to privacy or any other right, then that government is illegitimate and needs to be overthrown to establish a just, moral, and free society. I pity you and everyone who agrees with you.

Dude no. You're wrong and you just can't see that. Too egotistical about muh freedoms. If you truly believe that you're anything more than a really smart and good looking monkey than you're retarded. More so than the average monkey.

You are an animal born into a first world country that Gives you many different rights. Had we never gotten to the point to form governments, there would be a lot of rights you have now that you wouldn't have then.

Were are the rights to live for cows? What about dogs and cats that have been taken from the wild for thousands of years and domesticated because we like to touch them? Why do we get to eat cows and grind their children up for a quick meal? What Right do you have to do that to them because they can't speak or make tools? Had your genius ancestors never made tools you'd be a fucking derp right now picking fleas off your mother's back and eating them.

Your rights and safe living are the privilege and opportunity given to you by your parents and the government you live under.

This is fact regardless of what you want to see it as. No piece of paper changes the FACT that as nothing more than a mammal in the wild, you have nothing but opportunity. Everything you have is because of your countries generosity and resources. Whether some are good and some are bad or whether your country is attempting to alienate the rights it once offered is another story that isn't being discussed.

"I don't care because I have nothing to hide". Same logic that the Nazi party used. The jews learned this lesson well. Unfortunately, they are smarter than fuck and seem to be bent on using this logic to brainwash this generation. Good luck.

this is what i use, the pooping with closed doors never fails, after all everyone poops the same way, fags/normies shut up instantly

You're basically asking them to delete their Facebook profiles, Linkedin etc which is how people communicate and get jobs these days.

A VPN and an OS change won't do anything for normies.

They won't be mad about it either because chances are they're upper-middle class people who attend charity balls and dinners with friends. They've already sold their souls to live the good life to start with, so they trust their governments 200% regardless of what's happening in the streets.

If their excuse is literally "i have nothing to hide" instead of "well it sucks but what can we actually do about it", you're talking to a full on shill.

"Let's say you have a friend who's a closeted homosexual; you're the only other person who knows. He wants to come out, but he's still living with his parents and he's afraid of what they'll do. So he's waiting until he can move out to reveal himself. He's not doing anything wrong, and you don't think he's doing anything wrong, but nevertheless, would you tell his parents or anyone else?"

Good analogy?

Tell them to give you their credit card details if they have nothing to hide. The botnets also collect that. Also ask to look through their photos if they have nothing to hide. Credit card details and their photos might be public property after some leak some day anyway. Also ssn

Saying you're OK with the NSA spying on you because you've nothing to hide is like saying you're fine with removing the first amendment because you've nothing to say.
Like many people, both young and old, your friends are morons.

Do you have curtains on your house? Why, if you've got nothing to hide?

Give me your wallet and I'll scan everything and put it on the net? Why not if you've got nothing to hide?

Both the government and the citizens are bound by social contract. There's this social contract known as privacy, which in a perfect world is inviolable. It's not about hiding or not hiding something from the gov.

>b-but the terrists
The terrorists threats are overestimated. Each year, more Murricans are killed by the cops than by the terrorists (this includes both Islamists and angry white guys with guns). Thus it's not a reason for the government to renege on social contracts.

its the same way of thinking, you cant argue with this either.

best way to make em feel bad is to touching their wallets, tell shit about how they make money out of him for being "unprotected"

i've been listening to podcasts lately and the nerdist had an episode with alex winters. in it, they talk about this argument and totally dismantle it without being retarded autistic faggots about it. i suggest you listen to their conversation and learn from it

To all those ppl saying that it isnt a right but a privilege.
Since it isnt a right, it makes sense that you fight harder to protect yourself surely?
If it was a right (whether it is being breached or not) you would have the protection to do what you wish
In proving it isnt a right, you answer OPs question - You have everything to hide, because at the end of the day you are the only one protecting your own data.
There is a reason my pin code isnt written on the back of my card but deep in my head - because i am the only one responsible for protecting myself.

Survival of the fittest - if they dont see the point, let them die out.
