Upstream security response will always be better, your "builtin" features doesn't mean its more lightweight and it adds more attack vectors to a less vetted product.

Why the Ludlow Institute has decided to cooperate with neo-fascists is something you'd have to ask them about, but these people have decades of experience in masquerading as press when they're really not. Here's an example of green party student activists falling for it:

The contents of the article aren't interesting. You don't invite fascists in because they happen to have a point or act politely occasionally.

Could you recommend a better article on privacy?

I find it sad that a whole article can be dismissed due to where it is published. By itself, it is completely fine and blasts already open doors to the HN crowd, but I like its concise wording and how it phrases some points, like the one about GMail.
Though it is quite interesting that such a privacy stance on "I have nothing to hide" comes in an allegedly neo-nazi paper, knowing this is the mindset that led so many people to be tracked by nazis. People knowingly went to nazi census. I find it quite ironic.
