HN tends to be highly skeptical of “if you don’t have anything to hide, you wouldn’t mind the lack of privacy” arguments.

I personally see a future where employers mandate the use of Recall and will audit employees’ activity for “compliance” purposes, to quash dissent, etc. I don’t like this future. (Employers already have the legal right to do this, but the implementation is neither commonly available nor commonly accepted, so Recall may nudge the needle on societal acceptance.)

In this future, you’d be stopped at the border and asked to hand over your Recall data and sanctioned based on political articles you read etc etc, imagine whatever slippery slope you like here.
