Great and what if a dictatorship takes over and starts looking through historical data. This is a depressingly high possibility in my country.

But even going less extreme than that, what about just draconian surveillance laws. In my country they've already tried to ban VPNs fortunately they're technologically illiterate so they've been massively unsuccessful at that one. But what if they grow a collective brain?
