I'm by no means suggesting you shouldn't take steps to protect your privacy. However, part of the reason privacy advocates struggle to connect with a wider audience are terrible false equivalences like these.
This example fails because people do have something they want to hide, their naked bodies, and the violation is far more severe than the typical data we're trying to protect online.
If you throw this around then start talking about metadata or whatever, even people who might have been open to the idea will ignore you.
