Why Privacy Matters. Even if you don't have something to hide. (technomagnus.vercel.app)

Fundamental questions arise on whether we truly require privacy. One might question the necessity of privacy, thinking, “Why would someone like me need to hide something? Am I a criminal or a celebrity?”. However, there are genuine reasons why anyone should be entitled to confidentiality, regardless of their status. Privacy is a fundamental right and a matter of personal liberty. As privacy activists assert, it’s about ”liberty versus control”. Liberty requires security without intrusion, security plus privacy.

If you've got nothing to hide then just upload some naked pictures of yourself... Oh, now you want privacy?

Sounds like the "Bike Fall Meme". Don't upload things if you don't want others to see them ¯_(ツ)_/¯
