Since you all have nothing to hide, please post the following:

  Name
  Address
  Phone #
  date of birth
  SS #
  credit card numbers+ expr dates+cvv
  Routing and account numbers for relevant bank accounts
  Logins/passwords to commonly used services
  Your security question/answer combos
  Pictures of all your keys on your keychain
Well, unless, you're a terrorist and don't want to volunteer this info.

Privacy is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The more resources we waste fighting for it, the bigger the real problem (which exploits the lack of privacy) will grow. The problem is not publicity. It's the government.

What? Can you repeat that, but explain it more clearly?

You don't seem to understand how this works.

If you ask a nudist to get naked in a non-nudist environment, he's probably going to refuse. The same rules don't apply to every context.

The world post-privacy is going to be totally different from the one we currently live in.

I'd love to see digital privacy taught as part of the curriculum in public school computer classes. If every student learned their rights when they learned how to type, these fools with 'nothing to hide' would think a bit deeper about all the information (including the info that may be used against them in a court of law) they've posted online over the past 10-15 years.

It's pretty evident that people get the exact kind of government they want and deserve. I feel no sympathy for anyone in this whole fiasco.
