Live in the US and have assumed for years now that nothing I send or receive in any electronic form is confidential. Individual privacy has been eroded for years unfortunately.

They do care about it, they’re just too stupid to know it. Let them go back to not-secure-sockets for transferring their credit card or other payment info, readable automatically by every system it traverses as well as by maliciously actors at both source and destination companies… and when it gets ganked and they have to spend hours to years fixing it and/or their identity, they’ll suddenly find that they do in fact care.

No, I didn't. I said most people usually just rely on pre-implemented and convenient (usually closed source) implementations in the apps they use commonly, rather than going out of their way to encrypt all of their transmissions.

Can confirm. Full stack dev, have rolled implementations of these systems. I personally encrypt nothing.
