I agree with you that privacy and censorship resistance are not contradictory to each other. However I need to point out that keet/holepunch is *not* private
It is censorship resistant and does use encryption once a connection is established. However at its core its a holepunching library and the main way holepunching works is by broadcasting your IP address out to the wider internet so that other peers can attempt to connect to you
So, by design it exposes you IP address and by extension your location. Even though the contents of the channel is private. Its a lot like nostr DMs 😆
