I particularly liked this formulation as it's clear, and drives home the point that metadata matters, in a way that everyone can understand:

  Illegal interception of the content of a message breaks your secrecy.

  Illegal interception of the metadata of a message breaks your anonymity.

  It isn’t less, it’s just different. Most of the time it isn’t less, it’s more.
