We had a related thread here about "good" mail providers. I've had
success convincing friends that a "good" mail provider costs (a
modest) something, like half a $beverage [1] a month, to be able
to treat you as a customer and not as cattle or vegetable.

Yeah, that's unfortunate. After explaining to people how that
horrible Cambridge Analytica affair went, some take their distance
with FB. I count each case as a personal success.
But this is something which only works face-to-face, personally,
and among friends.

Over here we have what we call "crypto parties", where interested
people can learn how to set up encryption and/or exchange public
keys.
My take on it: nothing beats personal contact. Nothing.
Cheers
