> You cannot solve social problems ("how do i know I can trust X") with technology. ... Indeed, you trust in your computer to display the right hash, and to compare them correctly. Are you saying "No one should ever use a computer or phone because it might be spying you"? Every time someone uses Twitter they are using technology to solve a social problem (e.g. "I want to know what people I care about are talking about").
