My response is: "OK, then you won't mind going to work naked to morrow."

Wanting to hide part of yourself is normal. Human nature. It doesn't mean you have something nefarious to hide. And the reason you don't mind it is only because you don't realize how intimate the data is they get from you.

In the end it's like with some Trump voters: "Oh, I didn't vote for that!" == "Oh, they collected all this? And this is what they do with it? No, I'm not OK with that." - we've been telling you for years!
