No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I would answer that like any normal person I have plenty of stuff to hide which I don't consider any legitimate concern of others, and rightfully so.
And that if that person has no dignity, they may bend over as much as they want, but they are also spitting in others' dish by making that bending over acceptable and common.
You got curtains? Interesting, why? Got something to hide?
Because it's 105°F outside and I want to keep some of that shit out of my house.
Just kidding. Except about it being 105°F today. That part was real.
If they've nothing to hide, then why are they so dodgy when things like lolicon are discussed? Their actions speak louder than their words ever could.
There is an age old practice from olden days of the internet. If you don't want your nudes out there, if you don't want your name out there, if you don't want anything of you out there - you don't put it out there. Because once it's out there, you won't ever know who'll see it much less, have it. I always assume, that as soon as I upload a picture of myself somewhere on social media, someone would've had to have right clicked and saved it already. For what purpose? Who knows, could be a matter of some sick personal collector of people they particularly are fascinated with to potential murderers who're only lacking my location but should they find me out in the open, they'll know what I look like and probably kill me. And anything in between.
But so many people on Facebook, complain about how it is that they make new accounts and suddenly are presented with familiar faces to re-add as friends. Whether or not it's a new e-mail to even a new location, Facebook knows you so well by now, that they'll pitch you all of whom you've had, even if you don't want them. That defeats the point of wanting a refreshing restart on your life when all you've got is reminders.
Black markets also exist that circulate your data. Why would one think that one day, they're seeing a bunch of transactions that they didn't authorize all of a sudden? Well, somewhere at somepoint, someone did seize your credit card or bank info and now is running hogwild on it.
They're not worried yet because it hasn't happened to them, but boy do the tables turn once people are affected by these experiences.
It's less that people have nothing to hide and more that you're not really sacrificing any privacy
"I'll need to see your ID, Social, and bank info to prove it.", then start posting that on Facebook.
tbf, that's just a reasonable position that a person can have. Your data is an asset, just like your bank account. If you wish to spend it for something in exchange, then do so.
My only concern would be if they were unaware of the potential risks. But most people are aware of the risks and choose to take them anyway. That is simply a choice they are free to make, ultimately.

There is no countering that argument. It points to an absolute failing of empathy. Rah, rah Godwin's law incoming. If you can't understand "First they came for..." and realize that it doesn't just stop or start at ethnicity and instead applies to literally everything and anything you care about them it's gonna take a serious remediative effort to correct that worldview.
Like tomatoes too much? Straight to jail.
Ask them to poop in front of everyone at work.
Every, single, time, they have to go.
