    Most people don’t know anything about encryption or privacy. The few who do care will find other options.

      That’s what I’m getting at. All the ‘Bad Guys’ who genuinely need the security to do bad things will just move to the other options, along with us tech savvy types. The only people they’ll be able to spy on are the normies who aren’t actually criminals…

      Actually I think I get it now. I’m sure for many of them, it’s not about catching criminals at all.

        They don’t care about the criminals though, it’s the normies they want to spy on.

        The criminals are going to do other stuff that’s going to put them on a watchlist, it’s almost inevitable. But normal people aren’t going to do any of that, so they have “no need” to be protected by encryption.
