You are right, I get what you are saying. But I guess I'm speaking more from a user perspective. Some people have told me they can't write down private things in a physical journal; as someone they are living with can easily pick it up and read it. In theory, a digital copy can be secured with more confidence than a physical copy ... for example by encrypting things with a key that you're confident only you have access to. I think I should have said that one benefit of "digital" is the potential for increased security ... online is clearly not the case.
