Whenever people tell me they aren't fussed with monitoring and spying, I ask
them for their phone, and if I can browse it. If they are saying they have
nothing to hide, then lets prove it.
If they are OK with some anonymous person looking through their data, then
surely someone they know and trust would be OK too.
Never had anyone comfortable with it yet. Good way to demonstrate they are
really full of it.
Reminds me of this story, where there was a debate, and someone who was arguing
against fiat money or something was saying that money was actually worthless.
He put a $50 note on the table arguing it was worth nothing. His debate
opponent then went to take it from here, whereup he quickly snatched it back!
