    That’s a fucked up legal system…

    The fact that you care about privacy means that you are hiding something which means that you are now a terrorist.

    That sort of broken logic can apply to almost anything

      The fact that you care about privacy means that you are hiding something which means that you are now a terrorist.

      Closer to “we think you are terrorists, but cannot prove it because You’ve encrypted all the relevant sources of evidence. Therefore you must not only be hiding something, but hiding evidence that you did what we accused you of, which is clear evidence that you are a terrorist, or else you wouldn’t be hiding the evidence of your terrorism from us.”

      Which is if anything even worse, since it presupposes that any accusation made is definitely true by default. Guilt until proven innocence has a bad track record.
