My daughter was telling me about an app that day-cares and schools use to send photos of kids to 'helicopter' and panic parents and I tried explaining why that was a security issue:
How do you explain to people who don't realise the problem that there IS a problem.
I've tried using the Jewish registration at the Nazi police stations (what, 1939ish?).
I've tried hacker data stealing.
Data collection of kids through adulthood.....
What is a good argument to use against "App! Facebook! Wow! If you don't do anything wrong you have nothing to worry about"?
Anyone got a good speal?

After a certain age, kids understand the need for privacy in the bathroom. Use that for your argument. Here's how I'd try to direct the conversation:
At this point, the kid should feel this is creepy and unfair, good.
By now, the kid should see something is wrong and is angry about the proposed system: good, you've taught them the need for privacy, security, and how an authoritarian system designed for the public good can be abused and harm everyone. The analogy can be scaled up for the high schoolers or down for the kindergartners.
