Sgoti argues privacy is not hiding

  • Tags: privacy, security, hiding

Some Guy on the Internet, "I consider any unwelcome questioning of one's privacy to be a deliberate attack against ones' privacy. The attack is socially engineered to erode the victims guard against unwelcome questioning usually prompting the victim with an easy surrendering statement, “I've got nothing to hide”. Once the victim surrenders to the attack, by equating privacy with hiding, the victim becomes more vulnerable to further/deeper probing for sensitive information."

Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves or information about themselves, and thereby express themselves selectively.
The domain of privacy partially overlaps with security, which can include the concepts of appropriate use and protection of information. Privacy may also take the form of bodily integrity.

Someone's right to keep their personal matters and relationships secret.

a: the quality or state of being apart from company or observation : seclusion.
b: freedom from unauthorized intrusion.

The state of being apart from other people or concealed from their view; solitude; seclusion: Please leave the room and give me some privacy.
The state of being free from unwanted or undue intrusion or disturbance in one's private life or affairs; freedom to be let alone: Tourists must respect the tribe's privacy.

Very well said.

If someone claims they don't care about privacy because they have "nothing to hide", ask them to unlock their smartphone and let you borrow it for half an hour.
