Privacy is (a) freedom.

The reason why people care about privacy is not necessarily because giving up privacy has some directly observable negative effect. But, simply, living without freedom sucks.

I don't want you to know my personal information not because you could/would do something nefarious with it. I don't want you to have it simply because it's none of your business.

I am personally starting to think that this is the framing we need for this conversation. It needs to be discussed as a freedom as opposed to a right for no other reason than 'expectation of privacy' was very successfully neutered.
