Stop saying stupid stuff like: “If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.”
Start saying: “A free country doesn’t track innocent citizens.”

If you have nothing to hide, then why do you wear pants?
I like to ask those people if I can go look through their underwear drawer.
Because I wear pants to protect my genitals from cat claws.
I go with [any] ‘clothes’, but yeah. Have gotten some amusing responses to that.
I like the line, you’re not doing anything wrong by using the loo, but you still lock the door when you do.
Anyone who unironically uses the “nothing to hide” argument can stop using curtains, and keep a live feed of their screens online for everyone to see every text, email or photo they share.
