I think this is the correct course of action. No matter what amount of privacy we have, and I think we are entitled to a lot of it, nothing stops someone who has more power from exploiting someone who has less. All the encryption in the world doesn't stop someone from breaking down a door and breaking the code with a rubber hose, so to speak. What does stop people from doing this is a very strong social stigma against this kind of behavior. Or at least it was a very strong social stigma, it seems to be breaking down if you are of a certain color or religion now.
Only by maintaining the social stigma can we really protect ourselves.
This is, at its core, a social issue, not a technological one.
