I love my privacy. And I would never give up encryption.
But I’m not naive not lying, I know that privacy can also be used by criminals to do crime while avoiding prosecution by law enforcement. Not every crime is morally wrong, but many are.
It would be dishonest for my part saying that without privacy it wouldn’t be easier for law enforcement to detain certain criminals. But that doesn’t erase that without privacy law enforcement could also take morally right criminals. A d without privacy other bad actors also have an easier time getting you.
My best take is that is a complex matter, but without downplaying the fact that not all privacy is used by good people, overall having privacy is a good thing.
And being realistic 100% privacy would never be achieved and that level of privacy maybe it’s not desirable. In the sense that with 100% privacy anything you do could be trazable to you without your consent no matter what, which mean that you could do really nasty things without repercussions. But with a great level of privacy it’s more plausible that the greater resources that law enforcement would need to disclose your actions would more likely be used in nasty crimes more than in other things. But, then again. It’s a complex issue, it has a lot of grays and I don’t think it can be oversimplified in a dogma.
