I'm sure many of you have had some variation of the "I don't care about my privacy because I have nothing to hide!" conversation with other people.
I'm curious, how do you respond to that? Let's collect some talking points and inspire each other!
My typical response is a variation of "Privacy isn't just about hiding something. It's about being able to decide for yourself what others know about you and what they do with that knowledge."

@r_alb here are mine:
1. If you have nothing to hide, can I have access to all your e-mail and IM communication? We can set it up such that I only have strictly read-only access. That cool, right?
2. Privacy isn't just about what we share with whom now, but who gets access to this in 5-10-15 years and how the context changes. You don't know you might have something to hide because you don't know who will be looking at this data in the future, and what that data might *mean* then.
@r_alb also, one of my favorite quotes on the subject, author unknown:
> I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are.
