Why do you feel you need to hide electronic communications from the government or law enforcement if you are doing nothing wrong?

Considering they have back doors into the internet backbone, communications hubs, software, etc. do you really think you can hide for long? They can subpoena ISP and hosting logs, etc. how much privacy do you believe you have or should be allowed.
I agree 100% with the caveat that a slippery slope scenario does exist.

Imagine local law enforcement in all 50 states having access to everyone's emails, phone calls, text messages, instagram and snapchat accounts. They could easily create a narrative of guilt for any number of petty things to gain more local power or sway local elections. Local law enforcement already amps up tickets & arrests during election years.

That being said I don't use any privacy tools at all
