        “If you have nothing to hide” has never been a valid excuse to compromise on privacy.

        Yeah, most of the time you don’t actually need it, but if you don’t make it the norm, one day you’ll wake up and find that the entire concept of encrypted communication was made illegal.

        As the UK is actively trying to do. And the first sparks of which have been seen in the EU as well.

        And that’s before even bringing up that even innocent normal conversation data can be used to profile individuals and mass-influence the democratic voting process with targeted campaigning.
