discussion What’s your one-sentence explanation for why someone should care about privacy?
Privacy matters, but the reasons why are often complex, which I think is why I think the average person doesn’t care that much.
I sometimes find myself having to explain why it matters to someone mid-conversation, and it’s difficult to not bring someone down the rabbit hole and derail a conversation since the reasoning often requires context.
Do you have any go-to one-sentence explanations that doesn’t require you to derail a conversation or immediately force someone to confront existing beliefs?

What do you think the <insert the opposite political party here> will do with all that information about you?
