Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog's 2016 post on the 'nothing to hide' argument about privacy and personal data. The comment cites it as a clear explanation of that argument.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
I am a consultant at ThoughtWorks, a software developer and privacy advocate.
