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”?

    And also “do you always obey the speed limit in your car, and who is your insurance company?” or something among those lines…

      This is a great question to use because how many of these people have given their smartphone location permissions? Google knows when they speed already.
