Additional sources

On NewsBank there is a "letter to the editor" indexed in there.

Stewart R. Dyckman from Seattle wrote "TECHNOLOGY AND PRIVACY - MAJORITY HAS NOTHING TO HIDE" published in the Seattle Times on Sunday March 13, 1994 in page B5/Letters (Record number 1899970 ). It is a short letter and he asks "We hope Congress, like the administration, respects the majority "meaning people who "nothing to hide but want the reduction in crime that surveillance helps provide"

Who argues in favor of "nothing to hide"?

Is there anybody who explicitly argues in favor of "nothing to hide"? WhisperToMe (talk) 23:51, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As the main contributer to this article and practically the sole contributor to the article on Daniel J. Solove's book on the subject, I believe you would know this better than anyone. I myself have heard the argument used in private conversation, but I think the book you wrote an article on would have more expert information for this encyclopedia. Your question is rather telling, and makes me wonder about the banner that has been placed on this article. If anything, the arguments refuting the "nothing to hide argument" are more prevalent than any supporting it. Schmutzigeskind (talk) 15:48, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Its impossible to argue on the nothing to hide side. If some person X think "I am not doing something wrong, so I wont hide what I am doing", the word wrong on this line of thought will be based on his worldview, this because being wrong or not is subjective (some think killing a baby is bad even if the pregnant mom and the baby will both die, if they don't do so) , so what happened on the guy mind can be changed to "I am not doing something I THINK IS wrong, so I wont hide what I am doing", the problem is that you aren't the one that decide what is wrong or not, so you hide something because others may have a stupid point of view of what is right and wrong.177.92.128.26 (talk) 15:47, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Amerocentric

"we are all subject in the United States" should be changed to something else, like, "citizens of the United States" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Amerocentric — Preceding unsigned comment added by 36.37.140.62 (talk) 01:18, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
