If you don’t have anything to hide at this point, I don’t trust you. They check your phone at the border. They crawl your social media and build a profile on you. And if they don’t like what you’ve said, you’re flagged as a dissident and law enforcement will treat you differently for your assessed political views. It takes next to nothing to be in the sights of the current US admin. It isn’t paranoia to be aware of this, it’s self-preservation and common sense. It isn’t a conspiracy, it’s fucking Palantir. And now we’re seeing how complicit Silicon Valley is and how willing they are to feed their data into this demonstrably hostile administration. At one point, I could feasibly understand why someone would make the “I have nothing to hide” argument. Now? You have to be completely ignorant or with them to say that shit.
