This is something i often hear from friends of mine when talking about privacy in general... "But i have nothing to hide" "Only criminals have something to hide" "I don't care if google know what i search, how i think, what i like, because their services are good and free and (again) i hace to nothing to hide" They fail to grasp the true danger behind their own acceptance. It's ignorance at it'a finest. Socially accepted ignorance View quoted note →
If you think you have nothing to hide imagine your government or your company's boss Knocking on your door asking if you have anything to hide. You said no I do not have anything to hide, they proceed to come into your house, check inside all of your rooms, and stay to watch your every movements, to record all of your actions, All of your speeches, would you be okay? You might try to ask them to leave, but they would just say "so you do have something to hide after all, maybe we should take you in?" Privacy is not about having something to hide, it's the ability to selectively review what you want to the world. Reject Central Bank digital currency. View quoted note →
I saw a post about cash vs charge (which could be applied to CBDC) A man pays $100 cash for a mechanic to fix his car. The mechanic uses the $100 bill to pay a painter to paint his fence. The painter uses the $100 to his dentist for a cleaning. The dentist uses the $100 bill pay a handyman to fix his broken window. At the end of the week the $100 has passed through 10 people’s hands and is now $100 in the grocery’s register. But if everyone charged $100 to pay for services the credit card company would take 3% every time. After 10 transactions they would have $30 just from the $100 moving around society. That $30 is stolen from the $100.
