Short answer - and you may not like this - is, you CAN'T. Anything you say will likely fall on deaf ears, or worse, be ridiculed / derided. People like you and me and others here in HN - in the ways we think and act - are a very very small minority, I'd say < 1% of the general population. I even tried this with my male friends (still living in India), guys I grew up with, who were posting their phone # on facebook walls. Even after I sent them stories of how facebook has no privacy, leaks data, sells data and that people were getting murdered and robbed from info they were posting on facebook etc, hardly anyone heeded my advice. The response I always got back was "Dude, you are being too paranoid. Chill."
