   What? You're tired of people telling you the truth? You're free to accept or   
   reject my advice, but I believe most people would prefer reality to illusion.   
      
   Using deprecated algorithms isn't going to protect your info from government   
   mass-surveillance, which is the real threat.

   Using a decoder ring you got in a cereal box is more than enough to protect   
   your info from the average user (or your little sister, for that matter).   
      
   Keeping your communications safe from mass-surveillance is another kettle of   
   fish altogether. It's a free country; you can do what you want.

   Like I said, it's a free country; you are free to take my advice (or not) as   
   you see fit.
