    This is just under 12 minutes long. Tldw. Can someone explain the argument in maybe 1 paragraph? I watched a minute of the video and got bored. I can’t see sending it to anyone. A 1 minute version would be great.

      The general take away is “Surveillance is oppression and it is the responsibility of the people to stand up against oppression”.

      A few other quotes I like that fit the theme.

      “People shouldn’t be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.”

      — V (V for Vendetta)

      “Without privacy, you can’t have anything for yourself. Saying you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”

      — Edward Snowden

    I agree that the “I have nothing to hide” argument is wrong, but could you not use the word normies? I think when people who visit this community see stuff like that it seems kinda gatekeepy even if that isn’t the intent.

    Saying you have nothing to fear, if you have nothing to hide is the equivlent. of saying i dont need the freedom of speach beacause i have nothing to say.

    I belive the quote is from cory doctrow. BASED person
