Privacy doesn't need any justification to why it's important any more than why someone molesting you on the street doesn't need a detailed explanation as to why it's bad. Corporations and states are dirty abusers that want to know about and sell every part of your private life, and that should make you uncomfortable. Having to justify why you deserve privacy in the face of this form of abuse is simply victim blaming.
i appreciate this philosophically, but it's not really the pragmatic answer I was looking for.
