Are you aware what kind of idea you are circulating here? It's the kind of idea citizens in totalitarian states would circulate, probably even in the hope to score points from their dictator, for participating in instilling "order".

- mark_l_watson 10y agoIn a world where both large Internet companies and governments collect meta data, possible collect more than meta data, set up fake cell towers, etc., I think it is naive to not think that they are also collecting statistics on the use of encryption.
