No. For any technology you could argue I'm just hoping it won't fail. If I fly with a plane, I'm just hoping it won't crash, right?

In fact, there would be security measures making it less likey that there is a leak. I am literally not "just hoping".

Now those security measures might fail of course. But what are the probabilities? That matters.

Please explain how this does not apply to opening pornhub on my computer right now, with zero age verification systems. I think it applies perfectly, and so it is not an actual argument in this discussion.
