And strength in numbers is not the only reason to do this. The more people expect that their Internet communications are private by default, the more outrageous it will seem to the general public that encrypted data is an exception to whatever rules there are against storing and targeting data from U.S. citizens. "Encrypt everything by default" is a good policy for changing social attitudes, not just a technological measure to defeat an unconstitutional practice.
