slightly hire risk of death due to terrorism
People are not very good at thinking probabilistically. How about:
"Are you willing to accept the deaths for four people in 2014 due to terrorism and the sexual abuse of 18 toddlers in exchange for online anonymity."

While a good start, this should also include some ‘reference mark’ to gauge how many 22 deaths in the whole of the US are – e.g. via deaths in car accidents, plane crashes or gunfights.
