I’ve had some success by asking them to unlock their phone and give it to me so I can read their messages and look at their photos. As they refuse, I tell them “but you just said you’ve got nothing to hide and you don’t care?”
And you could add that you probably wouldn't learn as much about them by looking at their phone for a few minutes than Threads transmits to Meta every second of every day.
I did that once to a friend of mine, but because he knows me and known I'm trustworthy, he did it hahaha I had to resort to verbalizing the invasive actions I would take when I got the phone so that my point would sink in
