If someone says you have nothing to hide, ask them for their social.

My response is: "OK, then you won't mind going to work naked to morrow."
Wanting to hide part of yourself is normal. Human nature. It doesn't mean you have something nefarious to hide. And the reason you don't mind it is only because you don't realize how intimate the data is they get from you.
In the end it's like with some Trump voters: "Oh, I didn't vote for that!" == "Oh, they collected all this? And this is what they do with it? No, I'm not OK with that." - we've been telling you for years!

"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say."
That's very quotable.
The Reddit topic in the screenshot is just as quotable and directly points at the root of the problem:
"I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are."
I'm not worried about the people who choose to close their window shades, I'm worried about the people who apparently need to peek through them.
Wish it was shorter though.
