>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
This is bullshit, the problem with saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say is obviously that if you say that, you just said something. So the comparably stupid thing to do would be to HIDE that you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide, not to ARGUE it.

You're just saying that because you can't honestly say I'm wrong

user... you aren't REALLY arguing semantics against a statement conveying a metaphor... are you? You know he didn't literally mean "you can never open your mouth"... right?

But what other problem is there with saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say?
Seems sane to me other than that you have to say something to say that

Can someone give a good reason as to why it is morally wrong for the government to violate privacy for the greater good? I'm trying to write an essay arguing that it's bad for the government to do so, but I keep sounding like a rambling schizoid.

Government is bad, period. It's not okay for them to exist.

You are dumb, but for a serious answer he does care about free speech which is why he is saying that. The "nothing to say" doesn't mean every word that exits your lips, its meant to imply you have no strong opinions or convictions and thus you have no stake in the free speech debate and therefore have no right to argue against it.

>why not tho
Because it hardly matters if you have an opinion on something when you have no experience with it, no stake in it, and it doesn't affect you if it exists or not.
Carson Ward
Makes sense to me!
Why is that bad tho
Angel Wood
Cameron Davis
But it still matters if you have an opinion on it if YOU can affect IT, doesn't it?
