"I have nothing to hide" is heavily dependent upon where you live, when you live, maybe future political administrations. People 5 years ago probably thought abortion was no biggy because of Roe V Wade. Now this might be illegal depending where you live. If you're gay, you would be executed in other countries. Some of us have the privilege of living where it's safe (for now) to live our lives, not so much in other areas.

Everybody should have privacy by default. People should use Signal, don't rely on Google and other big tech services either. Google and Meta was found to be supplying location data information of people who were going to abortion clinics to the police (sauce).
