I'm sorry the reality of networking and cryptography offend your artistic sensibilities, but I'm going to maintain that if you are the kind of inconsiderate buffoon who tries to foist this stuff off on unsuspecting users who are less well-equipped to make informed safety-vs-ideology decisions, you're doing them a terrible disservice.
