A surveillance state means: – Privacy researchers exposing backdoors can be silenced. – Opposition voices can be controlled. – Whistleblowers can be stopped. If those in power always know what you’re up to, you’ve already lost the ability to resist.

“Nothing to hide” falls apart when those in power get to redefine what’s “wrong.” Privacy is your protection against tyranny.

"Privacy is dead, I shouldn't even try to protect it" is a collective illusion, and a pernicious, self-fulfilling prophecy. https://t.co/dEjtn3qVqd

Remember: Big Brother rarely shows up with a sign saying “Big Brother.” It creeps in via backdoors, convenience, and apathy.

The fight for privacy isn’t about hiding. It’s about dignity, autonomy, and the right to be left alone.
