I'm not familiar with the Privacy Guides project but I think a growing number of people are realizing it's far too easy to have your status changed from 'law-abiding' to 'criminal' by nothing more than a majority vote by corrupt members of your local, state or national legislature.
I've lost count how many times my state or federal government has turned me into a criminal. I suppose the first time was when the tobacco age was raised to 18. My high school used to have a smoking area for students. I used to ride my bike to the grocery store to buy mom a pack of smokes if she got low before 'grocery day'.
Then there was the time they raised the drinking age to 21.
Seat belt laws.
Under-18s riding in a pickup bed.
Selective Service ensures that young adult males can become a criminal by literally doing nothing. Or do they now require females to register as well? I can't keep track.
As a young parent, I became a criminal when the state raised the 'child booster seat' age from 5 to 8. I'll note that none of the lawmakers who supported the original law's age designation of 5 were ever held accountable for their short-sightedness.
To that extent, privacy/security ARE for criminals or rather, 'soon-to-be-designated' criminals.

Everyone with integrity already left the Privacy Guides project a while ago due to their heavy involvement in harassing GrapheneOS project members.
