  • Of course, "always cheaper" in this case means less money up front, but much, much expensive more down the road than the initial cost.

    Of course, the down the road cost isn't usually that visibly connected to the "make it illegal" plan, so conservative governments love it.

  • What's the name of the fallacy where someone appeals to different circumstances that don't currently apply in order to justify something?

  • It might be similar to a Motte and Bailey Fallacy. Though that one is more focused on distinct but related definitions than it is for distinct but related situations. Not the exact one that you are looking for, but the related concepts might be a path towards an answer.

  • Data privacy: how to counter the "I have nothing to hide" argument?

  • "But, when I talk to people in general, most seem to not worry because they “have nothing to hide”, and most are only worried about their passwords, banking apps and not much else."

    Sounds like they have passwords and banking apps to hide, You should demand their bank account and credit card details to verify that they have made no illicit actions.

    If they point out that they have no reason to trust you with that information, that's when you point out that police, government, or corporate groups are made out of people just like yourself. They might have some codes of conduct, or a vetting process, but it just takes one person malicious or careless enough for you to be severely impacted.
