A lot of people feel they have nothing to hide and don’t feel strongly one way or the other on privacy, but they do like feeling safe and secure from crime and “bad things”.

It’s a dangerous and destructive worldview, because they benefit immensely from the small percentage of society that absolutely does need privacy.

People don't but those with power (i.e. the people who matter) do.
