A while ago a co worker told me "why would you care about your privacy? all my data is already out there anyway and what can even be done with it anyway".
What would be the ideal response to such an absurd comment? At the time I found it hard to answer because she surprised me with that opinion.
Edit to note: the explanation should be compatible with a professional context. I don't want to scare my co workers or appear crazy/paranoid.
Seriously, anyone who ever says they have nothing to hide, show them this story.
"A Redding Police Department officer in 2021 was charged with six misdemeanors after being accused of accessing CLETS to set up a traffic stop for his fiancée's ex-husband, resulting in the man's car being towed and impounded, the local outlet A News Cafe reported. Court records show the officer was fired, but he was ultimately acquitted by a jury in the criminal case. He now works for a different police department 30 miles away."
