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”?

    There is no countering that argument. It points to an absolute failing of empathy. Rah, rah Godwin’s law incoming. If you can’t understand “First they came for…” and realize that it doesn’t just stop or start at ethnicity and instead applies to literally everything and anything you care about them it’s gonna take a serious remediative effort to correct that worldview.
