    Considering anyone who isn’t an idiot already uses steganography for security, who is this for?

      I don’t understand your comment. Steganography in computing is about hiding messages inside other media, but this doesn’t in itself achieve any kind of encryption. The current discussion is about encryption, and whether it should have backdoors (the answer is no). Even if you hide your message in an image or video file, you still face the question of how to encrypt it. So steganography seems orthogonal to the debate about encryption.

      According to you, only a half dozen of people are not idiots on this world, correct?

      why would everyone, or even just I as a kind of technically adept person, use steganography daily? what problem does it solve?
