This is awesome, I love it. I will be reading in detail. However, it's inspiring me to write up another idea for those people who are promoting privacy, which is this:
I mostly hear about why privacy is important, from people that really care about privacy. And who probably already have very good practices.
It would be really motivating to hear stories about people who were NOT careful about privacy, and who paid the price.
Kind of like "loose lips sink ships", but with a story behind it. Like for instance, Jose in Venezuela posted on his Facebook page about his business, exchanging bitcoin for fiat, and was arrested. Stuff like that. Real people who committed real privacy errors, and how/why we should be aware of that.
Not to shame people or anything, of course, just to give it some emotional impact, so it hits home, and we actually do something.
There are plenty of examples including physical-bitcoin-attacks on GitHub.
We may also see mainstream media providing all the examples we need on this type of thing in future. Many people need fear as a trigger, but for many I'd rather they just remain proactive.
