However, recently it occurred to me that arguing in that way probably does not work on most people today, because they actually do not care about free speech either.
So I think that today's lack of understanding of the importance of privacy is just a symptom of a deeper problem: people stopped caring about human rights, including free speech, and then of course privacy is also lost.
