Yes. WebFS doesn't actually use any of the file/directory functionality provided by IPFS, or any encryption features. We only use the get/put block functionality. Everything is encrypted in WebFS before being posted to a Store.
The data encryption keys are generated using a secret and the hash of the data being encrypted. That key is stored in the reference to that data. This continues recursively to the superblock which is not encrypted.
Well I fear even if the information is encrypted alone once quantum computing breaks modern AES encryption standards that’s going to be a yikes. So I’d be more comfortable with encryption as well as access controls.

I mean, if it's securely encrypted, does it matter if others can see it? And indeed, if it's online, you must assume that others can see it.
My privacy concern is about IP addresses. So I'd want to use IPFS with Tor onions as stores.
