To everyone when they see horrible privacy news about Microsoft replying with:

"I don't care, I use Linux"

Sure, you do. But does your medical clinic do? Does your therapist do? Does your family member typing a personal email to you in Word before sending it do too?

This is a systemic problem.

You cannot protect your own data only by using Linux yourself. You must also demand stronger regulations and enforcement to obligate organizations around to protect your data as well.

While I agree the problem is systemic, not int he way you state. The issue here is not that people can be irresponsible with data and that data may relate to you. The issue is that you dont have a fundamental right to anonymity in any situation with law. Simply enshrining a fundamental right to anonymity will go a long way to address the problem as I would have a right to be able to use any service without the need of providing any identifying information to begin with.
