I don't understand it myself. "I don't mind if people see X, but I'm bothered if they can prove it" is such a bizarre attitude to me.

  I've known people who e.g. had justified worries about their children being kidnapped by a noncustodial parent. Someone in that situation doesn't necessarily mind if their neighbor sees their kid playing, but would mind quite a bit if said neighbor posted video of same to social media.

  I don't mind acting silly doing kareoke at a bar in front of some random stragers, because it will only go as far as their memory, but I do mind if a video of it is uploaded to the internet.

  There's a rather enormous difference between people seeing a thing and people recording a thing and, even more impactfully, distributing that recording or using it to populate databases.

  Have you truly never had a conversation or real world interaction with someone that you didn't want recorded and then posted to the internet?

    In public? Sure, but only because I was being an asshole, lying, or both.
