This is in India, but coming soon to a country near you (or the one you are in already).

Ah, the old "nothing to hide, nothing to worry about" fascist argument

Thing is, at all times but especially under fascist governments, everyone has something to hide. Having something to hide is a normal part of being a human being among others.

It's not about whether someone has things to hide, it's about that person having the power the right to choose what is known about them.
Privacy is a facet of power, which is why it has been codified as a right; to prevent exploitation and abuse.

Even then, I expect there are things for anyone that you wouldn't want generally known after you're gone. And that's normal and unproblematic.

India can't do this.

So they'll remove their ban on "India: The Modi Question" right?

If you are doing nothing wrong then you don't need to hide your face or need guards.

Did anyone read the article first before commenting

I made sure to read enough of it to know that it is in India, and that it is a bullshit heavily fucked decision that will absolutely attract the attention of all the wrong people.

That's not as bad as what I read, could you fill me in on the issues? From what I can understand, the SC of India claims the stupid yet very widely accepted opinion of "you have nothing to hide so don't be afraid" but the state is taking a strong opinion against it. I read many good arguments for privacy by the state, while the SC just parroted the same opinion over and over again.
