Instead of playing defense, I think we need to take positive steps.

Secrecy of Correspondence[1] is something that desperately needs to be extended fully to mobile devices.

Compare how many letters you get vs how many chat messages you send.

Secrecy of (mobile) communications should be recognized as a (natural?) right.

Agreed that we can just do defense so close to loosing, we need a proper buffer, not just hoping nothing changes.
