Like you wouldn't strip naked just because you have nothing to hide. Change my mind.

I'd say there's a difference between caring about privacy, and caring about invasion of privacy

If you have enough protection against one, you don't need to worry about the other

Please note this only applies to modern countries!

You're distinction is meaningful. I will further distinguish whether one merely believes the statement or whether they are using it to argue a position.

I would say in the case where one says "I have nothing to hide." as a retort, it's usually in defense of an argument for the invasion of privacy. And it's never about themselves; it's always very distant from them.
