Varies from person to person. The three I've personally had the best success with are as follows: An appeal to historical abuses works for some - but others see that sort of abuse "not being possible in the modern day". In my opinion, that is naive since many countries are still actively oppressing minority views... it's literally happening in the modern day. Just perhaps not in their country yet. =\ As Adam D. Moore said: "Consider someone’s sexual or medical history. Imagine someone visiting a library to learn about alternative lifestyles not accepted by the majority." I use examples such as: Have you ever seen a therapist? Taken an anger management class? Have had an STD? Are you LGBT or supportive of LGBT rights? Depending what country someone lives in - inquiring about their beliefs on "touchy subjects" can be a good one. If they refuse to tell, then they have something they wish to keep private. If they do tell - is there someone they wouldn't tell? If so, why not? (eg: Would they tell talk to their boss about politics?) Those are the most TL;DR versions I could make for each of them. The goal is to get them to see privacy from the viewpoint of a minority - and especially from a minority group who are persecuted, ostracized, harmed, or killed for having their beliefs. Privacy is literally the difference between life and death for people across the globe and people who have no felt their life has ever been in danger due to the lack of privacy should be thankful. In a world where people truly have "nothing to hide" then there would be no reason to look.
