I saw another example of asking them to send you private info (passwords, banking info, ssn, w/e)
They will respond one of two ways:
They will say that you have no reason to know those things (thus, making your point)
Or, they will refuse. (in which case you can tell them that if they DID send that info out over those apps, then others could get to it quite simply.) -
Really good video from Kurzgesagt about this topic

Oh I did not see the sarcasm thingies. In case you are not serious about this I suggest that you start looking into it :) @kieni
!rant && sarcasm
For a long time now I've been trying to convince people to use secure communication. I'm used to getting called "paranoid", but the killer phrase always was (and still is): "Why do you want me to encrypt my communication, I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE, so I don't care who's reading it" - "It's not about hiding something, it's about private stuff staying private" - "Yeah, whatever"
"I have nothing to hide". That always killed the conversation... until I asked them to hand me their phones, unlocked, for 5 minutes.
"No" - "Why? I thought, you had nothing to hide and don't care who's reading it?" - "Uhmmm..."
More and more people around me are popping up in my Signal contact list.
Looks like they suddenly care a lot about private stuff staying private </sarcasm>
