Abstract
In this short essay, written for a symposium in the San Diego Law
Review, Professor Daniel Solove examines the nothing to hide argument.
When asked about government surveillance and data mining, many people
respond by declaring: "I've got nothing to hide." According to the
nothing to hide argument, there is no threat to privacy unless the
government uncovers unlawful activity, in which case a person has
no legitimate justification to claim that it remain private. The
nothing to hide argument and its variants are quite prevalent, and
thus are worth addressing. In this essay, Solove critiques the nothing
to hide argument and exposes its faulty underpinnings.
