I think the problem is equating having done something wrong with having something to hide. They’re clearly different. For example, not wanting to share your medical record with the entire world means you have something to hide. Everyone has tons of things that are private. Doesn’t mean having done anything wrong.

But also, it’s subjective what ”having done something wrong” really means. Writing the wrong tweet can get you fired (I was reading the other day about a guy expressing ”white lives matter”, and his GIRLFRIEND was fired as a result),and during some revolutions people with the wrong views get killed. A joke you made in 2008 on a website you lost your password to can easily get you fired (and more).

No one can be sure that they don’t do or think things that other people want to destroy or even kill them for. You don’t know what people (or the government) will think is wrong in five years, or even now.

Privacy is a protection against all sorts of dangers, no matter how innocent you are in your own eyes.

My understanding of the is that the camera´s ´´time frame´´ if you will in 1826 was such that by the time the picture developed the people had moved. The only person to be seen in the picture is the shoeshine person down by the street side, this person stayed standing in on spot during the ´´time frame´´ of the process of taking the picture.
