Don't forgot how recently this wasn't obvious to hardly anyone though.
Probably only 10 years ago, I knew a lot of people who thought careful and conscientious use of encryption and security features could protect sensitive info from governments. That's not a very long time ago.
It's taken a while to sink in -- and to the full extent of it being more and more widely known. That nearly any government can probably trivially get access to anything, using commodity off-the-shelf surveillance software.
(Postscript: Edward Snowden is a hero).
