    I think what people need are clear examples, concisely expressed, of the explicit harm experienced by forgoing a certain quanta of privacy, since the benefits are apparent (eg gain access to a certain service/community/etc).

      You’d think the dystopia of China and what they did to Hong Kong would be enough. We hear scary stories about China that you think people would want not want that here. Or episodes of Black Mirror.

        None of that can be explained by allowing private companies to collect digital data.

        What you’ve posted is a great example of scaremongering.

        Again, if you want to advocate for privacy, you need to make a direct and explicit connection. Not this tinfoil hat, arm waving general conspiracy thinking. It’s not compelling

        I think some System of a Down lyrics are useful here.

        “Why don’t you ask the kids at Tienanmen Square Was fashion the reason why they were there?”
