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”?
Sorry, that would take too long, but I’ll send a copy so they can see how utterly boring/undocumented my life is.
And that is why it’s hard to explain. People live different lives. What’s unimportant to some may be important to many others. It’s not all the same. Privacy loss is not an immediate problem. But if and when it becomes a problem, it’s a huge damn problem for an individual.
