I totally agree. I think part of the problem is finding a specific case that applies to as many people as possible (a common denominator), but also elicits an extreme visceral reaction so that it easy to empathize with.

There was a comment that I read here on HN about privacy being something like "everyone knows what you do in the bathroom, but you still don't want anyone to see", but I can't find it using https://hn.algolia.com/?query=&sort=byPopularity&prefix&page... . Maybe it was reddit?
