How is using end-to-end encryption of private communications a case of greed trumping morals? If anything, encrypting private messages and preventing others from reading them - be it Facebook or the various world governments - seems like the obvious moral move. I think a lot of people, tech or otherwise, are projecting their own ideals on to this Facebook leaker without looking closely at the details of what she’s been lobbying for. Most people seem to want less surveillance and interference with private communications by Facebook but she’s arguing for much, much more. But that’s the problem: The issue has now been so dramatized in the media that the average viewer doesn’t really know what’s being proposed, they just see “Facebook bad, whistleblower good” and assume it’s what they want. It’s up to people who know the subject matter, including the tech community who understand things like end-to-end encryption and government regulation thereof, to speak up.
