I'm not /just/ emotionally baiting - these two are actually intimately
related.  One's answer determines what solution makes sense.

If you're fine with some people getting busted, automated harvesting matters,
as it reduces the rate at which people are busted and gives those who weren't
time to cover their tracks.

On the other hand, if you're not fine with people getting busted, automated 
harvesting is irrelevent, as some people will get busted for reasons discussed
previously.

Advertizing something as being secure when it just means "ok, some people will
get busted, but hopefully not you" doesn't sound that great.

Crossing control boundaries (separate from jurisdictional boundaries these
days) does certainly slow down harvesting, but that doesn't matter to the
people in the hostile regimes, as they're the ones with their freedom on the
line.
