I think you've misread what I said. I have nothing against encryption - it's obviously a good idea to protect personal or sensitive information. What I said I didn't agree with was the idea of using encryption as a method of preventing the government from seeing your data in circumstances where they have a legitimate right to do so (eg, if cases where someone has been accused of downloading child pornography, let's say).
