When discussing privacy, the argument "I have nothing to hide" keeps coming up. This can be debunked with two main arguments: you don't KNOW what you have to hide; and you SHOULD have something to hide. But there is a third point: it isn't ABOUT having something to hide - privacy is a basic human need.

In this talk I will discuss each of these points, making clear how our privacy is endangered and why it matters.

Last but not least, I'll be talking about Nextcloud: how running your own, private cloud solution at home or in a data center you trust can keep your data yours.
