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”?
Ask them: How much money do they have in their bank account? How often do they have sexual relations?
Data privacy? I have nothing to hide. Freedom of speech? I have nothing to say.
I’ve seen dumb answers to this, “Google is fine because I don’t care what they know, it’s not going to affect my life”
