I do care about privacy, but I care about other things too, and I try to reach a compromise out of them. Sometimes the compromise means that I'm losing a tiny bit of privacy for the sake of a lot of something else, or that I don't do something else for the sake of my privacy.
However, I feel like this should be a personal decision. Some people like the OP might put a higher value on those other things than on their privacy, and that is completely OK, as long as OP decided this for themself instead of someone else doing it. And for that people in general need laws and tools to protect the privacy of the people. It's the same conclusion as @kadu reached, through other means.
