What is the point of keeping your social network activity secure if using this system will make you a person of interest, which will likely increase surveillance?
If you care about your privacy and are uncomfortable with the idea of someone reading your emails or social media activity, encryption is pretty much the only way to protect what you share, whether you're a target or not. I don't think that using an encryption app is enough to make you a serious, individual target.
I think the problem isn't only in surveillance -- it's in giving private companies access and control over heaps of data on our personal lives.
