reply 3/ So the question has to change. Not "is the content encrypted" but "what can be inferred from everything we still leak".
Systems that keep participation and connection private are not being paranoid. They are keeping up with what the other side can now do with leftovers.

reply 2/ A model does not need your messages. Give it timing, frequency, and who connects to whom, and it will reconstruct the org chart, the deal in progress, the employee about to resign, the relationship nobody disclosed.
Inference has become a form of access.

That argument died quietly the moment machine learning got good at patterns.
