H. Clinton has a very good record on defending her own privacy. Thus, I find it hard to believe that her record in terms of the privacy of the public stems from ignorance or misunderstanding. She ran her own secured, private e-mail server while serving as a major public official, after all, whether the technical details were delegated to underlings or not.

I very much doubt that any establishment-backed candidates in either of the establishment parties would be willing to make any public statements directly applicable to privacy. They are far more likely to come in soft from the other side, and chat up "tools to combat terrorism and other forms of extremism," while eliding over the implication that organized domestic protest groups like Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wherever, or "Y'All-Qaeda" militiamen would also be targeted, in addition to overseas groups.

I'd rather not elaborate further on anyone specific, as I don't want to shove my political biases down any throats on HN.
