The only antidote is an emotional connection with history and the reality of oppresion around the world today. No one who feels like they "have nothing to hide" can be convinced of the value of privacy until they have made an emotional connection with the oppressed and see themselves as potential victims. Anything these people think of as "normal" activities has at one point or another been made illegal by a government, but without 1. Knowledge of specific cases 2. An emotional connection to those who suffered / are suffering and 3. A willingness to go beyond the fantasy of perpetual personal exceptionalism there can be no appreciation of the value of privacy over law, or privacy weighed against inevitable concomitant harms.
