What is a good comeback or argument towards people who say “But I have nothing to hide” when you try to information them that privacy is important?

    Has anybody ever really said that “I have nothing to hide” in the wild? I only ever read that in online discussions about how to counter that argument. Proponents of surveillance I met were either “companies need to have all the data, else they don’t survive the harsh competition” when it comes to surveillance capitalism or the say “All the crimes, protect the children” when it comes to state surveillance. They seem to be aware that they lose privacy, but they believe that it is OK for what they get.
