I beg to disagree. For me, the term “secure” is very well defined, as well as “private” - there’s a large body of research and findings and sets of best practices about “securing” conversations and meetings against “hackers and listeners!” In fact, I’ve said it before in this list: the obsession with “security” has blinded, in my not so humble opinion, this list towards other human rights issues that are very relevant, like the plight of the poor, the migrants, people of color, people non-conforming to the gender and sex norms of today, etc..
