I agree with you. To anyone who's been paying attention there's a pretty palpable recent rush to encrypt everything (largely as a response to the Snowden revelations). There should be a genuine debate about the implications on social, political, ethical, and technological levels, but instead we only hear about the bogeymen of NSA spying (although, this is a legitimate concern). I'm a strong advocate of cryptography, but I think we need to come up with a way to speak meaningfully about it, instead of just rushing to encapsulate all human expression within cryptography.
