Practically speaking, how *do* you convince friends and family to switch to something else based on a matter of principle?

That is tricky, but with enough exaggerated "hax0r" and various security, malware, virus, etc scary stories you can convert most of those types. Something like "AOL *might* read your conversation!", all you get is a /shrug. But if you spin it as them selling their information to a 3rd party, especially those interested in identify theft, you might get a few eyebrows to raise up. My family is starting to become very interested in Simp Pro as they use the internet more and more. Especially with my horror stories from various web projects or random RTFM. We have all seen how well scare tactics work on the public, so start using it! ;)
