        Who was it who said "not caring about privacy because you've got nothing to hide is like not caring about free speech because you've got nothing to say"?

        Exactly. Having been subjected to a Homeland Security investigation, I can attest the impact has nothing to do with "not having anything to hide." It's profoundly invasive, humiliating & damaging, even when there's nothing to find.

        While this is correct, being a stooge of one of the world major authoritarian dictators kinda means you're probably not the right voice for this message.

        Yes seriously, the @OttawaPolice came to my door to threaten me with criminal harassment charges to terrorize me and told me I had to delete one tweet they didn’t like. Then they had my twitter account suspended to try to shut me up.
