    I hear this all the time. I have this conversation on the regular.

    Them: “Oh you think Tik Tok is spyware?”

    Me: “yes”

    Them: “I’ll have you know so is Google, Apple, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Microsoft, and all the big American companies too”

    Me: “Yeah, that’s why I don’t use them”

    Them: gasp “you’re just paranoid bro are you a drug dealer or something?”

    Me: “no, I just like my privacy. You probably wouldn’t like it if some guy was following you keeping tabs about everything you do either.”

    Them: “well I’ve got nothing to hide”

    Me: “maybe the next person in power might see your current and past beliefs illegal”

      The fact that you have nothing to hide doesn’t imply I’ve to open up anything to anyone without my approval.

      And that’s the key here, we are not fully aware of the randomized distribution of your own data for profit.

      Just ask them if they have curtains or blinds on their windows at home. They have nothing to hide, right?

      Me: “do you close the bathroom door while shitting?”

      Them: “yes”

      Me: “why? You have nothing to hide”
