“Okay, then hand me your phone unlocked and give me as much time as I want to poke around your browser history, files, and photos.”

We’re entitled to a reasonable amount of privacy, such as locks on our doors and curtains on our windows, why shouldn’t reasonable privacy also apply to our lives online?

“well, let me come over to your house uninvited and walk around the rooms looking through your personal belongings”.

“Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.” - Edward Snowden

Ask to watch them pee. When they say no, ask what they do when they pee that they don’t want you to know about; that is the only reason they could want privacy, right?

That’s a choice they can make for themselves, not a choice tech companies and governments should make for everyone. If they want to trade their privacy, and I don’t - fine. All I want is the power to choose and know that choice will be respected.

Some variation of the below:

Can I have your phone with the messaging apps unlocked?

Can I log into your personal email?

Can I see your tax returns?

Can I set up cameras and microphones in your house?

Can I place a GPS tracker on your car?

That can change in an instant if the government ever decides to outlaw something you aren’t hiding.

I ask them to open their phone gallery unrestricted and hand over their phone to me. 100% people refuse.
