Security and coding issues aside, the point of this is unclear to me. If the U.S. (or any) government is going to collect and analyze personal data, they're going to do it, and good luck stopping them through voting, protests, etc. The best way to advocate privacy is to provide technology that makes the data difficult to analyze. Outside the technology industry, very few know or (surprisingly) care if their information is encrypted when providing it.
