People with "nothing to hide" typically still have blinds on their windows and locks on their doors, so you know that statement isn't true.
Maybe you think you have nothing to hide now, but what if you need to take sensitive photos to send to you or your kid's doctor? There's been at least one case where Google decided to delete a father's entire account for that.
