He arrived all us. worth defending our privacy we are asked why we give in a defeatist attitude - or worse, accused of bad intentions when we simply safeguarding our rights because nobody else does it for us. Here are a handful of useful retorts when someone questions your right to privacy
Most people who question your fight for privacy -. Even your right underlying privacy - clichés are simply repeating and have not really thought about what they say. If they did think about what they were saying really means, they can be horrified. Alas, some people may need such an awakening: .. Privacy is a right that has been hardwon, which is easily lost
Here are some useful guidelines for deposit in these conversations
- Why you encrypt your correspondence
Try to answer :?
- Why did you lock the door when you go to the bathroom
(- But I have not done anything wrong)
(- Right There nothing illegal going on in the bathroom, despite you lock the door you probably just think you have a right to that activity to yourself anyway too ...)
- Why are you even bothering to try to protect your privacy? People post everything anyway these days, there is no point in having laws to protect longer private life
Try to answer:
- Because there is a crucial difference between something made with your consent when you publish something voluntarily. And something forced on you. Just because you have published a paragraph of your diary, that does not give everyone the right to go and take the rest of it by force. Net production is much more aware of what you believe at first. I'm sure you understand the concept of consent, yes
- The laws must be respected. The plot is built on the rule of law. The law should be enforced
Try to answer, with the risk of invoking Godwin and / or a little shocked anger:
- Then you would have turned into Anne Frank? She was a fugitive from the law of the land, you know. It was a criminal, and everyone who did not report was a criminal, too. Laws vary, and the only thing they have in common is that they are made to serve the people in power right now. If you looked at the right code to find ethical behavior, you will be disappointed
-. But think of all the terrorists! The government must be able to see what they do
Try to answer:
- Yeah, imagine if we could get rid of all the terrorists !. Imagine if we could do an experiment with this. Imagine if we could divide the land in the middle and a half, we had no unemployment at all, and hardly a crime. In the other half, we had the total runaway unemployment and rampant terrorism - the kind of terrorists who shoot innocent people, not peaceful protesters disagree, the government likes to call them terrorists because it sounds like a bad word . Can you see this experience? Good. Because it really happened. They had to build a huge wall to prevent people from moving to the side with crime, unemployment and the real terrorists. Eventually, they started shooting at people who tried to jump the wall anyway. People are literally risking their lives to try a passage half the country with terrorism and unemployment. The Wall fell in 1989. The lesson here is that the cure for terrorism is many, many times worse than the terrorism itself -. It is the totalitarian repression, and that is where we are heading in a myriad of excuses
- I have nothing to hide, so I do not care about privacy
Try to answer, paraphrased in the words of Edward Snowden :.
- I guess when you have nothing to say, you do not care about the freedom of expression, either.
Sometimes people need to learn that the stereotypes are not only jaded, they can be dangerous. This is one of those areas.
