    Here in the UK, many typical phone users already assume that their data is shared anyway. Every person that i spoke to about this today asked why I think it’s a problem as they have nothing to hide. A worrying position.

      Here’s my response to this line of thinking:

      “Would you be okay if I fucked your spouse/partner/etc? No? Why not? You’re already having sex with them. What’s the difference?”

      Consent. That’s the difference.

        Wasn’t it something more similar to “saying that you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying that you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say”?

        Because it would stink. I get your point but there are better ways if demonstrating it.

      You’re right. I could never convince my mates. Their typical response “I have nothing to hide, they already have my data”
