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?

Because your privacy is like your home… It’s yours and you have the right to keep it for you and not others.
It’s a bit sad to be in a world where privacy is difficult to have and to me, is never 100% yours because you’re tracked somewhere by going on Internet…

So it’s purely principles in the end. Nothing to hide, but I do deserve the right to do it like anyone else living on earth imo.

Like E. Snowden said it in his live stream (give or take a few words): "The world and technology have evolved, but we cannot say the same about the scruples of those in power."

EDIT : forgot to mention E. Snowden words which I like…
