what leads you to believe that end to end encrypted communication is a net good for the world?

esp in liberal democratic countries where the governments are at least in theory accountable to the people

are the costs of letting malevolent actors coordinate worth the benefits?

or are the alleged liberal democracies currently in power more of a fiction than reality? 

or is it more that someday a less liberal less democratic regime will come into power?

Even if the company operates under a "trusted" liberal democracy and the data is stored in that same country's soil. There can still be actors from countries that don't have the same values surveiling that data. Hence why we've seen cases of state actors from other nations infiltrate companies like Twitter in the past.

The open web is dead, long live the open web. ⌐◨-◨
