 "if you aren't doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide."

privacy isn't about hiding deceit or "shameful things." it's about having space without judgment and the ability to decide what others know about you.

you DO want the ability to make decisions for yourself without considering how others would view your actions. that doesn't make you a bad person.

but insisting that others need to do things exactly as you think they should, with the tools and methods you prefer, does make you a bad person. and a bad anarchist.
