Mostly not a lack of will but much more local and urgent priorities than figuring out SSH and PGP, like jobs and chores for example.

- rakoo 3y agoAs I said in another comment, it's not about everyone installing ssh and pgp and configuring them and learning how to use them, it's about us in the tech community to provide tools so easy to use you don't even know you're using state-of-the-art privacy tools. Like what Signal has done, and now it is expected that any messenger at least positions themselves on the end-to-end-encryption. Or like what Deltachat is doing with automatically configuring PGP such that users don't ever need to read those 3 dreaded letters.
- high_5 3y agoBeen there, done that. It's already hard to scale those two apps beyond your immediate circles and people won't just stop using WhatsApp or Viber or whatnot. But then try to convince your friends that they have to convince their friends. Friendships are not a pyramid scheme.
