        Hey look, there’s normie’s here on lemmy now! Your post is the type of naive stuff that gets a ton of traction on reddit.

        Its usually more like, “I’ve got nothing to hide, let them look!”, or whatever, but I like your version too.

        I definitely do though. Hey I’m planning a brunch here means corporations have a little more information about where you live, where you like to eat, who you have friends with, your friends weeknesses, social media can then try to inflict the group with different political opinions splitting up the friendship increasing depression and therefore the amount of time you spend on social media because it’s your only escape from your depression. Just to list an example of what could happen.

          Exactly. Maybe one of your less close friends turns out to be a serial killer. Unbeknownst to you now you’ve made some jokes and had brunch with them. Now a team of cops is going through everything you’ve ever texted anyone because it’s unencrypted, correlating things to make you look horrible. Suddenly you’re getting your life ruined.

          There are cases of innocent people riding their bikes past an unknown crime scene getting arrested for murder because their phone was reporting their location to Google. Try explaining to your boss that you’re missing work today because you’re in jail for a murder charge. Privacy is important even when you think it’s not and perhaps especially when you think it’s not
