    I tend to tell people who are not convinced that privacy is important these things:

    1. you don’t know how the data can be used or by whom
      • example: Grindr data used by a religious paper to out a gay pastor
      • example: Girls Around Me app
    2. not just you, but anyone who you are in contact with
      • if someobody gets your data, they can use that against anyone you know; if somebody knows you’re gay, or that you vote for a particular party, they can make assumptions about your friends and family
      • example: Facebook’s ghost profiles
    3. not just now, you don’t know how things change in 5, 10, 15 years
      • example: the Taliban getting US biometric stuff in Afghanistan
      • example: LGBTQ+ in Russia, mostly fine 20y ago, now serious danger
