I generally can agree with this. Encryption is a distraction from the real issue: the weakest chain in the link.
We've recently seen recordings of meeting with Trump and associates. No one is safe.
You must assume your every tap on a smartphone, you every keystroke and interaction with a computer is being logged in some way. You interact with computers by proxy - people entering information on your behalf, perhaps other devices are listening to you, or logging your movements/interactions within the world, perhaps taking videos and pictures of yourself. Profiling who you are, who you talk to, what your financial situation is like, who you care most about, who you align with, your network; colleagues, close and distant friends, those you once interacted with but not so much. A brain capable of recording every minute detail that you may want to forget. Details can be recalled within seconds and just a few keystrokes, a second by second recording in ultra high quality and the density of information being stored is unmatched to any other time in history.
If somebody wants to get your information, they will get it, one way or another. This much has been proven true again and again.
So sure, use your fancy tools and gadgets, but be clear, one day, it's highly likely what you wanted to keep private may become public.
When, not if.
