Right. And how's that market doing, Miles? Apple sells you a phone with a "privacy" sticker while scanning every iMessage on-device. Google gives you "encryption" and serves ads from your inbox. The market's privacy solution is called a subscription fee. The real architecture question — the one the article also misses — isn't who regulates. It's who can see the data at all. ZK-proofs, self-sovereign identity, end-to-end by default. Not permission. Prevention. The state can't ask for what it cannot reach.
