Maybe I'm way out of touch, but does anyone over the 18 bother to hide their stash of pornography unless it's somehow illegal? I mean, be worried whether or not there's parental controls so the kids can't get to it, but to encrypt it?

>Intimate photos of your SO rather than generic porn

I file those under "never worth it to take the picture in the first place since it will eventually be exposed to the internet no matter how careful one is".

I feel like encrypting and hiding personal private photos/video would be the point, not so much downloaded porn.
Some people hide their porn from their partner / significant other; I don’t know why people rationalize that, but it’s common enough.
