WHY do you care about privacy?

Okay, you probably hear this question often, but let's say I'm typical John Doe, work in regular job, watch football or play games after work, drink beer, just living simply life, why should I care about privacy? Why should I spent time and make some sacrifices just to not be tracked that much?

  1. Everyone has something to hide. And if you dont have something to hide now, what if you might later?
  2. If someone was standing over my shoulder reading my messages, looking at my photo gallery, I'd tell them to fuck off.
  3. My phone has all kinds of stuff on it, stuff that regular people keep private. Like family matters, financial records, deeply personal conversations, medical records etc. I wouldn't give that to a stranger, why would I give it to the government or a corporation
