I know data privacy is important and I know that big corporations like Meta became powerful enough to even manipulate elections using our data.
But, when I talk to people in general, most seem to not worry because they “have nothing to hide”, and most are only worried about their passwords, banking apps and not much else.
So, why should people worry about data privacy even if they have “nothing to hide”?
Some people just don’t care and will never care. Everyone makes decisions about what to worry bout. For some it’s being vegan/vegetarian, others web privacy, some others won’t concern themselves with either.
Humans have a limited capacity to care about things, and despite our best efforts not everyone is going to care.
