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?

Tech literates people tend to be more aware, but people who don't even know what OS means/is...

I'm the only person in my family that has some IT knowledge and believe it or not, everyone in my family things that way... While swipping, scrolling, posting on GAFAMs and publicly exposing all their life ^^. In my friends circle it's the same... Those who don't know what an OS is respond the same way.

So it's mostly the lack of knowledge of what privacy is, in the digital world... Because in real life most people put curtains behind their windows, so people won't snoop on your hidden secrets.
