I have had a LOT of conversations with non technical people about this recently.
“My phone is listening to my conversations” is how it goes - people know this tracking is happening, they hate it and find it intensely creepy, they just don’t know the mechanism being used.
Most of the general population probably neither understands nor cares that much if someone is watching what sites they visit or other basic privacy items and if you make them choose between privacy (especially privacy of others) and being able to post a picture of their lunch, many will choose the latter.
