Another one from a slightly different angle I use is: Imagine we’re all having dinner, talking about a particular politician. We’re sharing our thoughts and opinions, likes and dislikes. In a parallel universe, we’re doing exactly the same, except the politician is sat at the table having dinner with us. Are we going to say the exact same things in both universes? No, you’ll change your behavior when you know someone is watching. Even if you have nothing at all to hide, knowing that you’re being monitored or observed or that there’s even a remote chance it will come to light - you don’t act with full autonomy. That’s wildly dangerous in a democratic society. (Rough translation of the idea of the panopticon)
