Privacy determines the control over society's as well as your own way of life and future. Knowing anything about an individual or a group allows you to predict, manipulate, or force their decisions. That applies both to private as well as state entities. To a democracy this can have horrendous consequences and if people don't resist, they eventually normalize and accept the new status quo. For instance, compared to the US Europeans can't imagine their employers' having so much power and oversight over themselves as if they were not worth more than drones. That difference in balance automatically affects how well you can unionize, your mental health, productivity, trust, etc. Meanwhile, data can be used to determine whether you have any medical condition potentially before you even know it, what interest you actually pursue, how motivated you actually are, how manipulatable you are, etc., and make judgements about you without your knowledge, control, or consent. So, to argue you can't change things anymore anyway means admitting you can't ensure your own autonomy and equality of status.
