This will be a taboo and unpopular option. My theory is that these discussions are theater. More often than not people store and access their data from their cell phones. Between CarrierIQ and OTA updates/access, there is no such things as end-to-end encryption on a cell phone. People get really upset when I bring this up. I suspect it is a matter of denial and not providing links to public documents, which will never exist. I would suggest that very few people have the patience to implement proper OpSec with their own data.

You don't even need "backdoors" in encryption. Existing lawful-intercept on Slack, Discord, Facebook, Google and all the wireless carriers will net just about anything you could ever want to know.
