When I tell my friends/ppl that I prefer signal, they think I do drugs or something.

Why?

Because they think only criminals need encrypted security.
Just remind them that Facebook can and does read all their Messages.

    Ask them to hand you their phone & password.

    Or to drop their pants.

    Well, they would say that's different, since they say they don't mind, for an example, a police officer or authority they trust to see their stuff.

    And they would say that they don't send nudes or something like that, and that they have nothing to hide in their messages.

    Ask them what they think about flock cameras and similar tech. Also, if they have cameras at home, ask them if they’re ok if those cameras are easily accessible by anyone on the internet.

    they have no idea what those are in here, also with the cameras in home it'd be the same as the previous answer

    Welp, if they don't care that anyone can watch their cameras, even the indoor ones, then yeah truly don't care about their privacy. So no reason to waste your time trying to convince them any further.

    Teach them about surveillance pricing, and about how corporations are using their data to drive up prices on things they need the most, exclusively for them. Hit em in their wallets and suddenly they start caring.
