> The most private solution is end to end encrypted and doesn't require a credit card and doesn't collect metadata etc.

The most private solution actually doesn't involve a computer at all. It's not very useful though.

> How can privacy be full of trade offs and security not when privacy is a subset of security?

See my initial comment: > Security with encryption is about trust guarantees.

I'm not meaning "cybersecurity" when I say security here. I'm talking specifically about the security of encryption. Privacy and crypto security are two distinct concepts within cybersecurity.

Privacy hides the existence of a thing. Encryption (security) keeps the thing safe.
