if the government comes after you, you're screwed. that's why decentralized protocols are important especially when it comes to money and speech. being a CEO of a company pushing privacy through encryption is a dangerous undertaking. this stuff has to be built by the people for the people.
Discussion
I'm not opposed to a CEO pushing encryption and deciding for themselves their level of risk tolerance. However it's important to assume eventual failure under pressure and think that scenario through.
To take two extremes:
1. If the code is out there, the deed is done.
2. With a closed platform, you just trapped your users.
