Digital back door

Today, the digital world has become the most visible arena of our lives. But here’s the irony: the more visibility grows, the more the need for privacy increases. What cannot be said in the main digital chat group is almost immediately whispered in a smaller "mini group."

This is where digital backdoor diplomacy begins. Whether it’s a family group, a circle of colleagues, or a community chat… the official discourse stays in the main group, while the real negotiations and candid talks move into the side rooms.

In the coming years, this tendency will only grow stronger. Perhaps a revolutionary development—or a major social event—will push humanity further in this direction. We may even see dedicated apps built solely for "backdoor communication": safer, end-to-end encrypted, micro-spaces visible only to a select few.

And here’s the philosophical layer: no matter how surrounded we are by technology, humans will always need a smaller, safer room to tell the truth. Sometimes that room is a corridor, sometimes a kitchen table, and sometimes just a three-person chat group.
