It's a good summarization piece but there's not much of a takeaway. Support and use end-to-end encryption even if you don't need it.

While technology is being used to oppress people, it can also be used to liberate them.

Free encrypted tools like the chat app Signal and the encrypted email service Tutanota help activists around the world to protect their private communication. Keeping messages confidential can be a matter of life and death for activists, journalists and whistleblowers in many countries.

That's why we ... will keep fighting for privacy and against and attempt to backdoor encryption.
