I think the phrase has some merit, yet at the same time, it's the perfect slogan for an overreaching command, and control(C2) government.
I mean the slogan tugs at the low iq idiot common sense, that if someone doesn't wear themselves proverbially on their shirtsleeve, then they hiding something...... when it's coming from a government, hiding means illegal activity only........ It can also mean not wanting to hurt another's feelings, but forget that, right?

I think the fallacy here is that people have (or should have) nothing to hide. We all have things we want to remain private, which is fine; privacy is a basic human right. Another misconception is that governments and corporations are benevolent entities that won't abuse the data they have access to.
