      The truth is that leadership world wide only values privacy when it’s their own. Everything else is a big f’n show. Information is the single most valuable commodity on the planet and knowing your potential “opponents” is priceless. Maintaining power over others necessitates invading the privacy of others in the minds of 99% of people.

        Strange thing is that they are not even valuing their own privacy. Adding “backdoors” to E2E encryption, or whatever that means, will also impact them. If a backdoor exists, malicious parties will find and exploit it. Legislators own messages, videos, photos and other media will no longer be safe either
