    The greatest demand for anything truly private/secure is from nefarious actors. That’s just the way it is. There are legitimate uses, including for private individuals who like the feeling of protecting their digital nuts. But we have to remember that there are enormous shadow empires with very deep pockets constantly thirsting for these technologies and prepared to use them at scale.

      The situation becomes more complex when you admit those controlling the “official ways” are evil too.

        True. There is something to that phrase about “the devil you know,” though.
