This is a solid point on faceless surveillance vs people they know

My counter to 'nothing to hide' is "Privacy is power, why do you want to give away your power?"

Not my original observation, and I wish I could remember who to credit, but the fundamental dynamic is this:

When surveillance has a face, people are terrified of it. They absolutely don't want to be spied on by their boss, their family, their classmates or their neighbors.

When surveillance is faceless, e.g. the big tech borg, shadowy government agencies, they can pretend it doesn't exist.

The way to expose this is to excitedly ask when you can come and install your surveillance gear and software the second they bleat "I have nothing to hide...".

Get your your phone or notepad like you're ready to put down a calendar date. Watch them start backpedaling, it's hilarious.
