Even if you have nothing to hide, online privacy should
still concern you. Although you may not care if people know what websites you
typically go on, there is much more that is out there. Online sites can track
where you are when you are utilizing them. With this information, along with many
online databases, it is very easy for a complete stranger to discover your home
address. That itself is very creepy, but that is not the only harm that can
come from this. If a person lives in Maine, and then are accessing websites
from Florida, an individual would know that the homeowner is out of town. This
leaves individuals suspect to having people break into their house, with the
assurance that the owner will not be home at the time. This is simply one of
many cases that online privacy can effect someone, even if they believe they
have nothing to hide.
