@astrotwilight: If you have nothing to hide then why are you scared, are you a drug dealer?
Yes, absolutely. And a thief. And a homeless person. And a sex worker. And a graffit artist. And an undocumented person. And a person having sex. And a person carrying illegal medication. And, if I’m brave enough, maybe even someone who would break the law not just for my own needs but to change this rotten world where people suffer and starve and are imprisoned and enslaved and deported and murdered in the name of ‘the law’.
How does anyone look at the sentence “Are you sure we’re not watching you” and not feel immediately threatened by that, to the point of DEFENDING it
“If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.” Okay then, take a shower in public where everyone can see you. Or pull your pants down in the middle of the sidewalk to take a crap. Or have sex with someone in public. EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING TO HIDE.
Anonymity and being discreet isn’t always about doing something wrong. Like we all have our own reasons to want to hide things from people lol
Those who are already marginalised and targeted know.
“Don’t hide,you have nothing to fear if you have done nothing ‘wrong’”
Just means “Don’t hide,let us see everything so we can decide on which part of you to label as ‘wrong’.”
Even people who have nothing to hide should disapprove of surveillance. There have been multiple studies done on the effects of surveillance on people’s wellbeing. Being constantly watched severely impacts mental and physical health.
also when you factor in profiling (largely racial but also by ability etc) the line of thought that “if you’re not doing anything wrong don’t worry about it” just absolutely crumbles cus cops WILL think you’re doing something wrong even if you’re just a black kid walking home in a hoodie or an autistic person rocking & humming on the subway
