Had a thought. Let me know if it's just sleep dep talking.

We've all heard the "I don't have anything to hide" argument against needing privacy protection, right? Well, there's another thing to think about: solidarity.

Sure, maybe you don't have anything to hide. But some people do. Some people have really good reasons for needing to keep things about their identities or activities private, sometimes going as far as being a safety issue.

When you use technology that doesn't respect your privacy, you're empowering those companies and making it more difficult for privacy-respecting technology to survive, causing actual harm to people who need that privacy.

Needs a little more thought, but I wanted to say it. Maybe I'll write up a blog post or something, I don't know.
