Secure comms for government, not for you. Because THINK OF THE CHILDREN.
Never mind that the large majority of child abuse is done by government. Either directly, as in the perpetrator is a government employee or by failure to actually pay attention to children entrusted to them. The top child abusers are schools "and school related" (50% or so staff, 50% failure to prevent children abusing each other).

"Far from a haven for learning and community, school can be a place of bullying, sexual harassment, corporal punishment, verbal abuse and other forms of violence."
Even the very worst of child professional projections say that violence and abuse at home affects ~10% of children. Which is bad. How much children are affected by violence under the supervision of the state according to this report? 50%.
And the worst of that figure: it's obviously true. Is there anyone here that has not at least seen violence in school, but more likely experienced it firsthand?
Note that although the report focuses on third world countries in the press release, there is no such result in the actual report. "First world" schools are much less likely to be attacked by government or external forces directly, but most other violence and abuse problems are actually worse than in the third world.
