This essay doesn't really say anything new (there's literally a Wikipedia article on the topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_to_hide_argument and the religious registry being put to evil use has more or less reached classic status when it comes to discussions of it).
A more interesting essay might analyze the beliefs and attitudes that lead to people agreeing with the statement, and (perhaps) why they are problematic.
(It's actually quite difficult to figure out why people are comfortable saying they have nothing to hide, it's masked by the sea of text explaining they are wrong)
