The point is that the data you're sharing may look banal to you now, but you have no idea how it might get used in the future, and by whom. You should assume that all data you share is available to everybody. Thus everybody should prefer privacy by default.

This is the part a lot of people, including the idiot politicians who push for surveillance laws, do not underestand. Political regimes do not rule forever, even in the US, and what is permited/acceptable today, might not be permited/acceptable tommorrow.
