“I have nothing to hide.” That’s what most people say when I start a conversation about privacy. Have you ever wondered why you should use software that protects your privacy and the privacy of the people you communicate with? To understand this better, I recommend watching the first talk in our LibrePlanet 2023 lightning talk series. In her five minute talk, the speaker will convince you that you are worthy of all the privacy you want and need. For people who claim that they have nothing to hide, she has a persuasive reply: “I have nothing to hide, only everything to protect.”

    It’ll be interesting to see the difference in buy-in when using “everything to protect” instead of “nothing to hide.” Most people don’t have anything to hide, so focusing on a “protect you & your family” message may elicit a less dismissive response…but who knows…
