I got out of academic fingerprinting research when I realized I was on the wrong side of the discussion. I’ve just never seen or heard of privacy violations that particularly bothered me.
I too have never experienced a violation of privacy which had a significant observable impact on my life. You and I have been fortunate in this respect.
Some people are literally targeted for harassment and murder because of some aspect of their identity, journalism, or activism. This isn't a hypothetical.
Tl;Dr the dissident Khashoggi was infected with NSO malware before he was murdered by the Saudi government. That's a pretty clear violation of privacy in service of something I would guess you disagree with.
This story isn't an anomaly, I think if you looked into this further you would find innumerable privacy violations which bother you.

Here's one example from the top of my head:

Leaves the context of the story incomplete, otherwise.
