I'm reminded of this:

Snowden added that people who use the "I have nothing to hide" line don't understand the basic foundation of human rights. "Nobody needs to justify why they 'need' a right," he said. "The burden of justification falls on the one seeking to infringe upon the right."

If one person chooses to disregard his right to privacy, that doesn't automatically mean everyone should follow suit, either. "You can't give away the rights of others because they're not useful to you," Snowden said. "More simply, the majority cannot vote away the natural rights of the minority."

We also see the willingness of companies like ring to hand over footage to law enforcement without the consent of the camera's "owner".

We see Facebook making shadow profiles for people who never signed up based on data from people who know them.

We see state attorneys general in the US subpeana apps that track periods to enforce anti-abortion measures.

Having nothing to hide falsely supposes a just system of governance. Data collected from you could put others at risk, and could put you at risk whenever the law decides.

Also... These companies mishandle our data all the time. The 2024 at&t data breach comes to mind.

(e) prioritize investigations and take appropriate action to end child-abusive practices by so-called sanctuary States that facilitate stripping custody from parents who support the healthy development of their own children, including by considering the application of the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act and recognized constitutional rights.

What avenues currently exist to target sanctuary states?

A lot of work clearly went into this. Is data encrypted at rest as well as in transit? What are your future plans?

The relevant GOP memo on this makes very clear the intent, as it explicitly names puberty blockers as a target. Top on page 4 in the pdf
