@thenewoil Showing someone how to play back Alexa's voice recordings is a really effective way to start a conversation about privacy.

Even a non-technical person can gain confidence in tinkering with computer hardware by practising on old devices; you might even save money in the end.https://theprivacydad.com/tinkering-with-hardware/

@thenewoil, Great to read your response to 'Why My Friend Quit Tutanota'! I have read part 1 and see your point. I went to the @Tutanota FAQ link - General Questions and copied the first two items, and highlighted all the words and phrases that I know will disrupt my friend's reading comprehension. I have also highlighted all repeats in an attempt to emulate the effect on such a reader.I once tried a beginner's book about Economics and soon felt stupid and discouraged by stacked jargon.

@thenewoil @Tutanota It would be interesting to see survey statistics on this for a given country. My gut tells me a very low percentage will know what 2FA is. I agree about education, but the gap that exists today is very wide, and that's what puts people like my friend off.

@thenewoil @Tutanota I agree (https://theprivacydad.com/an-argument-for-using-schools-in-the-fight-for-digital-privacy/) but reading is taught mandatorily and systematically from ages 5 to 16/18. I've been an LA teacher most of my life, and know how challenging it is to raise writing and literacy skills even with say 5 hours of mandatory lessons in every year of school per week! IT has 0 mandatory hours.For education to be effective, it has to be legally and systematically implemented. I'll publish a response to your part 1 response post :) tomorrow.

@thenewoil @Tutanota It would be interesting to find out if there are any schools internationally that teach a class like that as part of the core curriculum. The latest Firewalls Don't Stop Dragons podcast interview with the CEO of Proton shows how much Proton lobbies for privacy behind the scenes.

@thenewoil Thanks. I think the lobbying aspect is important; I wouldn't know how else you get a course into the national education system (so it is taught to everyone). However, I was thinking about TV shows and series this week. Do you know those shows where a team will follow up on reports of a scammer (for example, in house construction)? I recently nearly got scammed and think I only had the wherewithal to stop it because of seeing those shows. We could have a similar type show for privacy.
