While the syllogism for "I have nothing to hide" is sound, it ultimately detracts from the argument of privacy as consent.

You may have come across the I-have-nothing-to-hide argument as a response to concerns about digital mass surveillance. It's a red herring; the real argument is about who gets to choose what to share.

This was written as a complement to @thenewoil@mastodon.thenewoil.org recent blog post about the I-have-nothing-to-hide argument. You can read that here:

Taking the 'and' to be a logical operator, obviously 'No.' anded with anything is still 'No.'.
Except in #Python, of course.

Leo Groarke has revised his SEP-entry on Informal Logic, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-informal/
The 2019 WSIA-volume on Informal Logic mentioned at the introduction is a nice additional resource, https://windsor.scholarsportal.info/omp/index.php/wsia/catalog/book/123 and the Journal Informal Logic offers a glimpse of some current discussions, https://informallogic.ca/index.php/informal_logic
Groarke's entry provides a list of OIR's, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-informal/#Oth including to the hilarious Arguer's Lexicon, https://web.colby.edu/arguerslexicon/ and some entries in the Bibliography are available online.
