And to anyone who says “I have nothing to hide” — imagine your worst enemy having all this information about you easily searchable with the intention to weaponize it for their purpose.
To anyone saying that, they need to stop quoting Nazi propaganda. Term is coined by (but not originating from) Goebbels.
Note: The origin is from a fictional dystopia.
The phrase is too frequently used by societies that we consider to not be free, being pervasive enough that a single use in literature would tell you that the characters live in an oppressive regime. Yet somehow we can make that connection but don't make it when actual politicians and citizens repeat it.
Personally I feel sickened that the phrase is so pervasive in our society (goes beyond the US). Just as I'd be if people were constantly saying "Work will set you free."
We will have to use punishment as deterrent for someone who is harming other with all of this information.
