It seems like a half-baked conspiracy

If Beal’s Feet Could Walk

Not caring about encryption in a messaging app is not the same thing as not caring about privacy at all.

If you think the only thing you can do with a handgun is kill something, you have a poor understanding of the ACTUAL function of a gun, which is ballistics.

You’re actually explaining exactly what that phrase is saying. It’s not supposed to be a sequential list of things. It’s not “You can’t have your cake THEN eat it too”, it’s “You can’t have your cake AND eat it too”. It means you can’t do both at the same time.
