How do you argue against "I have nothing to hide" in relation to privacy and security? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Just came up with my father again.
He blames me that mother forgot her phone's and Google password because I recommended against it being a word.
I mentioned encryption, "not necessary unless you're doing something illegal".
When mentioning lack of privacy with targeted advertisements, he said that he actually really likes them, because he bought a couple of things he wanted for years.

I don't really have good arguments.

I just find it interesting how values about seem to correlate (with my limited data points) strongly with age. From my son and his friends, who are around your age, to my parents and their friends who are generally 85+. That's the only reason I asked, not for some "ah, gotcha <kid, grandpa, whatever>", just interested.

Well...I am only one person, but if it adds to anything, I have literally never cared. Not when I first got internet as a pre teen and not now.
