Does this really require a monicker? Can't we just call people opposed to the freedom to privacy and encryption... luddites, authoritarians, or assholes?

- jrs95 9y agoI think I prefer all three actually...Authoritarian Luddite Assholes. But seriously, I don't think that's necessarily an accurate description of everyone who's against encryption. Some of them just have a poor understanding of the subject and are told total bullshit by other people about it. Often times people who are allegedly "experts".
- dylmarcor 9y agoI agree, it's the overall complete lack of education on any topic that's even remotely cutting edge. Technologies and ideas move faster than the institutions can keep up with. The only subject that should really be taught now is the ability to self-educate as much as possible. Ignorance to these kinds of things keeps people who would otherwise totally support in the dark, and thus, afraid of it.
