This question has been asked like half a dozen times in this thread and still nobody has come up with a concrete response.

Information is power. Information is used against you pervasively for control. This control ranges in nefariousness. You want examples? Here are some examples of consequences of use of information as a means of power:

• A present or future employer making HR descisions based on your behaviour outside of work.
• An insurance provider discriminating you and your coverage based on some knowledge like a pre existing condition or behaviour
• Behaviour that is socially acceptable today or appropriate in context being broadcast in the future when it is not or out of context
• Defamation
• Extortion
• Being targeted for having certain political thought
• Being targeted by perpetrators of acts of violence, theft, or nuisance (think swatting)
• Being manipulated into making purchasing or life descisions that are not in your best interest
• Systematic or discrete racial, sexual, religious or other identity discrimination
• ...

The usual response to a list like this goes something along the lines of, bah, none of that will happen to me, I'm a goody-two-shoes. That advice is about as good as saying "I'm a good driver, I won't get into a crash, so I don't need to wear a seatbelt". Back to my point, the consequences of information used against you are too far and too abstract for people to accept.
