"This affects all of us. We must care." is not an effective way of convincing someone.

I personally do not care about privacy. I see no reason why I should.

It's just my opinion. I know other people do but please don't generalize.

From the perspective of political philosophy, I see no problem with you not caring about keeping your own personal information private. But that's very different than you proposing a government program that will forcefully prevent other people who do want to maintain control over their personal information from doing so.

To phrase it differently, in a world where individuals have perfect control over their personal information, so can still post any of your own personal information to the Internet if you want it to be public. It's basically the difference between saying "I'm not personally a Muslim" and "I think practicing Islam should be illegal."
