That's cool, thanks for sharing about the Polish and the impact of secrecy on the public's understanding. Secrecy in government sucks. I know Turing had a tea

That's cool, thanks for sharing about the Polish and the impact of secrecy on the public's understanding. Secrecy in government sucks. I know Turing had a team, but you're right I should've written it that way. I was simplifying for the sake of a shorter title. HN only allows 85 characters =) > It is up to use to educate them and remind them that encryption is important to keep our data safe and that a backdoor in encryption means weak encryption. It is! Would you care to join me in some effort there? I have a few goals, a) come up with more concise messaging that is understandable by a non-techie, b) back it up with facts and primary sources, and c) seek out public figures who can share our message > They see encryption as a threat to their power and want to eliminate it. Yup. And as you know, at this point if we try to block it on the iPhone, we'll only put users at greater risk, and criminals won't be affected since they'll just change to use a different encrypted messaging app.
