I have tried, over and over with the people i communicate with daily(family), and because i take medicine they always say "have you seen your phsyc recently?, have you taken your meds?"

Well that would be fucking annoying as fuck lmao. Sorry you have to deal with that

For what it’s worth I’ve got a group of friends who don’t give a shit either. Like they take some weird pleasure in not using E2E communication apps and just use SMS. It takes 2 seconds to download a new app.

They can spy on me all they want, I got nuthin to hide harhar

Nothing to hide yet*. Just because you trust the current government and companies doesn't mean you always will. Data harvested now can be used against you (or your family) in the future. How will these people feel when 20 years from now they are denied medical insurance coverage because they have some data on you that proves you used to consume something that is later proven to cause a medical issue. For example, 50 years ago people didn't know that tobacco caused cancer. How would they feel if that information was used against them? What if just smoking even one cigarette increased their insurance premiums by double? These sorts of things could happen in the future. You never know how laws or economies will change, but one thing is certain: information collected on you now will never be used to your benefit, only to your detriment.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean you're wrong!
