Good regulation protects people from themselves. Before the Cambridge Analytica/Facebook fiasco, people would claim why care about privacy I have nothing to hide. Its not about hiding the things you do, its about protecting you from smarter people with ulterior motives that might use your data to straight manipulate you (make you buy something, make you feel something, make you do something, etc). We have to change the dialogue regarding privacy into its for your own benefit not because you're doing illegal activities but because your data is valuable to many outside actors.
