Firstly, I’m not against privacy or anything, just ignorant. I do try to stay pretty private despite that.

I wanted to know what type of info (Corporations? Governments? Websites??) Typically get from you and how they use it and how that affects me.

    Just because you feel you may have nothing to hide now, doesnt mean that information could be very worth hiding in the future.

    Governments change.

    Laws change.

    Dictators, autocrats, police states, abhors dissent. Free thought and peace of mind is what you’re protecting.

      And even then, even if you somehow trust that your current political landscape won’t ever go down that route, if lawful invasion into your privacy is legally possible, then it is also illegally possible, and you’re way more of a target for scams, identity theft etc.
