The next step they'll take is hooking into the amber alert system to find missing kids. Then, it will be finding "criminals," which applies to basically everyone thanks to NPSM-7.

The "If I've got nothing to hide, why should I care" argument has predictably aged like sour milk.

    The “If I’ve got nothing to hide, why should I care” argument has predictably aged like sour milk.

    has it? the kind of critical thought that easily dispels this fallacy isn't being applied right now on a global scale as evidenced by the fact that people are blaming russia for the epstein illuminati ring.

    Not sure that I'm following/understanding. I'm saying that skeptics of the "if I've got nothing to hide" argument were correct. You do have something to hide if the people in power suddenly change the definition of what's legal.

    the "i have nothing to hide" argument is easily dispelled by several avenues of critical thought; including the one your comment points out.

    this sort of critical thought is not being applied to the russia/epstein narrative that's taking hold on american politics right now.
