    That is very kind! My main question is probably how do I introduce the topic in an interesting way to non-techy folks. What’s the best topic to start? What are some must known examples of how things go wrong?

      For non-techy people I think the best way of getting into it is surely the mass surveillance, “you use social medias, but did you know that all of it is recorded and reported on these?” I would try to use some scary things that would make people first really interested to it from the start, instead of proposing alternatives the second you talk to them. Examples are countless try to inform yourself on the Edward Snowden leak to explain it to them, talk about the numerous spying techniques used by big tech. Hope was at least a bit useful :)
