Why should your wanting to hide something be any more sinister than what you want for dinner? And if you yourself don&amp;#x27;t have anything to hide, awesome. Is it not worth protecting &lt;i&gt;my&lt;/i&gt; right to hide things should I want or need to?&lt;p&gt;There are many reasons to desire privacy other than wanting or needing to hide something. The existence of this site does not invalidate those. But one great technique, when someone holds a rhetorical gun to your head, is to just reach up and pluck out the bullets, reclaiming and sanitizing the opposition argument. &amp;quot;If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Guess what, I &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt; have things to hide, and that shouldn&amp;#x27;t get stigmatized.&amp;quot;</text><parent_chain><item><author>juanito</author><text>I really appreciate the resources provided.

Even if you’re not doing anything &lt;i&gt;wrong&lt;/i&gt;, controlling that information has an impact. The way I see it, saying “I have something to hide” is, WLOG, the same as saying “I want to control what gets shared with whom.”&lt;p&gt;EDIT: If the site author is reading this, tip #6 misspells ‘diaspora’ as ‘dispoara’.</text><parent_chain><item><author>juanito</author><text>I really appreciate the resources provided.
