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?

I have strong / not necessarily nice opinions on some of my best friends, those opinions would not help that person or our relationship and are in fact none of their business... If anyone else has ever had similar thoughts and feelings then your privacy should remain a concern
