The most common argument used in defense of mass surveillance is ‘If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear’. Try saying that to women in the US states where abortion has suddenly become illegal. Say it to investigative journalists in authoritarian countries. Saying ‘I have nothing to hide’ means you stop caring about anyone fighting for their freedom. And one day, you might be one of them.

I agree with the first part of your comment, I don't understand the second. Some sort of pedophilophobic rant?

Children deserve privacy like the rest of us do.

Fun fact: Most parents cannot hear/see this sentence.

Not too sure about the middle part, but the end was pointing out that baby pictures of little Sally playing in the tub are not okay to share or take in the first place.

Its a common enough situation where Ma is going through the baby album with your bride-to-be or a total stranger (mother-in-law) and there's a bunch of photos of under-dressed children that would definetny make the wrong crowd happy to have.
