What does the statement "if you don't do anything wrong, then you've got nothing to hide" mean in this context? Referring to the ted talk “why privacy matters”

self-monitoring is in other words holding back your emotions for the better good. usually, people who can't hold their excitement, temper, or any other emotions, need to self-monitor themselves.   lol
