I think it is important emphasize that what is or is not private
differs between people and is a matter of personal choice.  Encryption
merely ensures that choice has effect.

To illustrate that I'll say that my personal privacy choices are more
about what would cause embarrassment, or be a faux pas if taken out of
context.  After all, here in the UK we know especially well that there
is no telling if or when your electronic communications and personal
life might be subject to the scrutiny and willful misconstrual by some
prurient journalist and make a victim out of you. q.v. News of the
World / Milly Dowler / Levenson
