- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

MODERATORS
Agree with your outlook, but I think it's not too farfetched to give the benefit of the doubt to the speaker here and establish that pedophiles were used as an example (of people whose survival depends on their data not being breached), rather than a direct comparison. And he goes on to name being an executive to the secret services as another example (again, of people to whom hardened security of data is an imperative), but we're not saying he thinks secure phones are just for people in secret services, are we?
He's just saying, albeit rather clumsily, that their goal is simply not that level of hardened security, but rather privacy from data miners.
