How to explain why privacy is important?

Journal by Gaaark

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?

    We know everything about Runaway just from his posts here. How's the Trailblazer running these days? Did you beat those two DUIs, or is a court date still pending. How are things at the plant, where you have black friends, and young, hot, not sexually harrassed at all cow-orkers? You are one to talk about privacy.
