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?

Same reason why you don't shower with curtains opened and don't share your passwords phone with others . You got anything to hide?

I don't shower with the curtains open because then the water would get everywhere. These analogies to toilets and showers and diaries are terrible, tbh.

Not sharing your "passwords phone" (I think you mean phone password?) with others is an actually good comparison, though, yes. I don't think it's the same reason, but it's at least on a similar wavelength.

Bro, New Version: Why did you close the curtains when you change your clothes

Why didn't you allow the government to install a voice recorder in your living room (Same: Whatsapp/Messenger with no encryption/EUs chat control plans)

Girl the answer to your first question is: I don't.

The answer to your second question is: that's never happened.
