Then they act all butthurt when they get debt collectors harassing them on social media, or repos using location data to repo a car with missed payments, lol. All the J6 people are a great example of people fucking around with tech and committing crimes, then finding out belatedly :)

There's lots of good, non-crime reasons why you might wanna protect your personal data, so you don't get your identity stolen, your wife thrown in jail for an accidental pregnancy, or being any flavor of queer in a regressive state.
