Honest question: do tools like this even matter? We're all a few INNER JOINs away from having our entire lives known by data brokers. This seems to indicate that unless one changes their name and lives with the mole people, privacy is an illusion.
To name a few professional that need to talk work with each others: journalists, lawyers, medical personal, security, and government. If just a small amount of the sensitive information that get transported through data brokers like facebook and google get moved to more secure end-to-end then I see a major win for projects like this. Take for example a psychologist seeking a second opinion on a recorded video of a patient, which as I understand is a rather standard practice. If I was the patient then I wish they used tools like this rather than a password protected google drive, which for practical reasons I assume many non-technical psychologist use.
Most people will not see the logical conclusion of this whole ordeal and will think you are merely being pessimistic.
Pandora's box cannot be shut. TOR and other projects will not be able to delete the information already gathered, backed up and parsed.
People are happy to tell everyone else what they ate, where they went, with whom and what they are thinking about at all times in exchange for nothing.
Society has made it clear that this erosion of privacy is a non issue.
