  "textContent": "WhyRhy:\n\n> They don’t mind being surveilled, quoting the typical “but I’ve got nothing to hide” nonsense\n\nI’m not sure if this is actually what general public tends to believe, or if it is a post-hoc justification for doing nothing about surveillance due to feeling utterly powerless about it. That is what I mean. I suspect most of the comments we see online saying “but I’ve got nothing to hide” are actually psyops, not to get too deep into conspiracy theory territory but it’s not like there aren’t financial incentives for corporations and self-preservation incentives for governments to create an illusion of popular support for surveillance, and having some bot farms post lazy, likely ai-generated comments attacking the idea of privacy is a trivial way to achieve this. I believe that privacy has way more popular support than its opposition, although likely most people are not aware of what they can do about it, which is why projects like PrivacyGuides exist in the first place.",
