This is why the 'nothing to hide' argument irks me so much. It implicitly accepts the asymmetry. If everyone had equal information, then it would be a very different environment.
Yeah, the "nothing to hide" mentality really boils down to "I'm okay with letting other people have all sorts of power over me."
The usual assumption is that those other people will not exercise their power in unpleasant ways, even when you are completely at their mercy. It's slave mentality at its finest. The Founding Fathers would have been ashamed.
