The "Nothing to hide" argument is (still) a logical fallacy (lemmy.ml)

Almost one year ago I made this post about how the Wikipedia page for the "Nothing to hide" argument removed the text stating that it is a logical fallacy. I advocated for it to be added back. Three days after that post it was added back.

Exactly one year, to the day, after the logical fallacy text was removed, it got removed again. On October 19th of this year, a different user removed the text from the Wikipedia page, despite plenty of evidence that the "Nothing to hide" argument is a logical fallacy.

I am back here, once again, advocating that the text be added back.

P.S. It's an absolutely crazy coincidence that the same edit happened to the same page on the same day exactly one year apart.

The problem with using that to argue with them is that they already know the value of their front door, phone lock screen, and their bathroom door for their privacy. What they don’t care about is the privacy invasion they don’t see: surveillance.

The best argument I could come up with to counter is using surveillance pricing as an example. That and insecure home security cameras.
