A tech company updated its messaging app to include a sophisticated encryption protocol to protect user privacy. Paradoxically, the company's internal data showed that the total number of messages sent per user decreased by 25% after the update was released.

Which of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the paradox?

  1. The new encryption process added a noticeable three-second delay to the sending and receiving of every message.
  2. The company also launched an aggressive marketing campaign to highlight the new privacy features to non-users.
  3. Many users stated in surveys that they were increasingly concerned about how tech companies handle their personal data.
  4. The update required users to have at least two gigabytes of free storage space on their devices to install correctly.
  5. The total number of apps on the market that offer end-to-end encryption has doubled in the last year.
