Encryption is a bit different debate with different tradeoffs. With encryption, the government can try to use different encryption than everyone else, and many sectors of industry don't rely on encryption. But vulnerabilities on common software apply to everyone; there's pretty much the same pieces of software and electronics (e.g. mobile phones) used by every country, by civilians and businesses and governments alike. |

As an aside, I personally would argue that in the age of big data/information that your populous having security is extremely important. Modern warfare (or all warfare) depends highly on information. TOR only works if average people use it. The military suggests soldiers use Signal because many times they've gotten in trouble because adversaries intercepted SMS messages to loved ones (or just someone getting some strange).
There is of course a question of balance, but personally I don't see one. Safer to encrypt everything imo.
