One aspect to this is that cultural norms, and those in power, change over time. There are tons of people who said or believed things 10 years ago that would get them fired today. And that’s in countries with freedom of speech. I’d be shocked if most people would be ok with public disclosure of every inconsiderate, off-color, or poorly worded joke you’ve ever made in private. That’s leaving aside things like intimate conversations with a spouse/SO, etc. That said, I wouldn’t be using a service like this to get there, but I do value the ability to use a privacy-focused messaging app in my day-to-day life.
