I find it strange how people think that privacy infringing software/hardware is fine because they're not a criminal and have nothing to hide. What they fail to understand is when their privacy is being stripped, someone isn't just checking their data, they're also storing it. Every click, every scroll, every facial suggestion, every purchase etc, etc. Personal/private details about you and how you act. They (corporations, banks, government) can then build a profile on you with this data and manipulate you into thinking how they want you to think based on your previous behaviour. Also, collecting data with a one single point of failure, like most systems do, are easy to hack - because it has one fail safe, a central server. Then the privacy you gave up because you're not a criminal, is now in the hands of a criminal.

"I've got nothing to hide" is the lamest, laziest, ill considered response to something that is yours and yours only.
If you havnt already, give Freedom to Think by Susie Alegre a read, she documents the history of personal profiling. It opened my eyes and ultimately led me right here.
Ill take a look
its the potential risk that people do not identify with unless they are the victim. I managed to convince my compliant sister to sand off the serial number of her council rubbish bin so it could not be tracked.
