> The risks when viewing public documents that don't require execution is minimal. If you’re living in a well developed country with strong privacy laws, you might have a point. But most of the people in the world don’t, and in many places simply looking at LGBT communities can land you in jail. Then there’s places like the U.S. with multiple states currently doing their level best to criminalise so much as thinking about an abortion. I don’t see why those states would be above scanning people’s clear text browsing habits to any signs of a possible abortion, and using it as evidence of an illegal abortion having been committed or about to be committed. They’ve certainly jailed women for less (even while pregnant). Just because you’re among a group of people that is lucky enough to have no worries about being oppressed, or discriminated against, doesn’t mean everyone has that luxury. Encryption is good for everyone, I don’t anyone being able to easily know what I do online, because I have no idea who those people, or what their motives might be, and quite frankly I don’t care. I just don’t want them rummaging around in my life looking for opportunities to exploit me or others.
