Your thought problem isnt productive because it creates a fake scenario that creates validity to an otherwise invalid problem.

Okay, if Christianity is illegal you'd want your Christian apps to be secure.

If Christianity isnt illegal, you don't care.

You'd want privacy if you were using the silk road, but you are probably okay with your alarm clock app collecting the number of times you hit snooze. You'd also be okay if the US/Chinese government knew that you hit snooze.
