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”?

    …but you still close the door when you go to the lavatory, right? Why? It’s not like we don’t know exactly what you do there.

    The argument here is that it’s no secret, but it is personal and nobody’s business. If you don’t want Zuck to watch you pee then you should also not want him reading your texts to your lover.
