@0x4d6165 Anyway, to that I say: No.
It's important for privacy that a lot of the data being encrypted is low-value.
If you only ever encrypt activist stuff, then by virtue of using encryption the government can argue they know you're doing activist stuff. Possibly illegal activist stuff. And a Grand Jury will be convinced.
But if we normalize using encryption always, not just for "sensitive" stuff, then that argument falls apart.

@0x4d6165 That said, secure encryption needs to be lower-friction for most people to use.
It needs to be secure even if the end user isn't thinking about security.
This is why I've spent years on Key Transparency, where most app developers were perfectly content with "demand users manually verify key fingerprints" instead.
