The problem capitalist consumers have is conflating product marketing features and corporate objective statements with their own prerogatives.
No corporation will ever at the users behest break a law that could impact a quarterly earnings statement.
If you need more security its time to succor the haggard burro we call PGP, and enchant it with holy Bernstein's ED25519. It is hard so you will not like it. Because it is hard HN will lambasted it, turn away from its glory and call it false, but verily it is the way. because it is hard it cannot be broken easily, even by state actors, even by the gods of the market itself.

Lavabit did this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavabit#Suspension_and_gag_order https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavabit#Suspension_and_gag_ord...

- ziddoap 5y agoData that was handed over included IP addresses of access, timing of access, email subjects, email metadata, and total number of emails in the account. I'm not sure what PGP or ED25519 would do for those? The emails themselves are already encrypted.
- BalinKing 5y ago> No corporation will ever at the users behest break a law that could impact a quarterly earnings statement I'm not sure if I entirely understand the point you're making, but this sentence confuses me: Isn't this explicitly not the fault of capitalism, but instead government interference?
