What kind of friends do you have? I was able to explain my decision for privacy to my friends and they understood my choice. They still don’t care them self but no one is calling me weird names. They fully understand me. They are just to lazy to give up the luxury from google etc.
But maybe that’s because I’m from Germany. Here the concept of privacy is something most people like, at least in real life and in untechnical situations. I think they just don’t understand enough about tech to understand that it pretty much has the same importance as the Real Life when it comes to maintaining your privacy.
Anyways. I will probably join.
Edit: Link is not working.
My experience from interacting with Germans is that you are above-average privacy conscious, which I find very admirable and gives me some level of hope that it is possible to gain some general awareness on these topics also in my country and elsewhere. Why do you think it is so?

I was just thinking, maybe this is a point you can bring up to friends that this concept is much more normal in the EU. I mean as long as they are not utterly racist they cant call an entire continent Terrorist or anything, right? Maybe it kinda brings in some new perspective. I don’t know.
Or they could go with the good old “if you sacrifice privacy for security you will have neither” - Benjamin Franklin
