I'm not especially bothered that they read my data. I'm bothered that they read anyone's data. I'm a pretty boring frontend engineer who doesn't do very much, but I appreciate that there are people who aren't me whose data needs to remain private. Journalists, activists, whistleblowers, politicians, people in abusive relationships, people who are victims of crimes like stalking, etc need privacy to do things that are genuinely in the public interest, and sometimes simply to remain safe. If I accept Google, FB, IG, etc reading my data then I am condoning those companies reading the data of people who rely on privacy for more important things than I do.
Essentially... it's not about me. It's about everyone.
