You mean to tell me that in the 90s technically illiterate people were encrypting their files without even realizing it? Bullshit. Much has changed since then

Bullshit.
Much has changed since then, whether you want to admit it or not.
- dragonwriter 11y agoYes, technically illiterate people were using encryption without realizing it (or even knowing what encryption was) in the 1990s, both for files and other data at rest and for data in transit (e.g., via HTTPS.) Certainly, the details of where and how encryption is commonly used has changed, but the substance of the debates over government encryption policies haven't changed much at all since the Clipper Chip and encryption-as-munition issues of the 1990s.
