> a lot of strong words
The words are mild and sometimes even a little playful. The ideas are
strong. Please offer some strong ideas in response, instead of calling
other people crazy, which makes you look weak.
> nothing remotely actionable... The fix could be the market,
regulatory, and/or technical.
The premise of the piece is that markets have wholly failed to provide
computer security for people, that technical complexity has escaped us
as engineers, and that regulation is undesirable, difficult and often
makes things worse. The time is now for this stuff to get very
_political_.
As I wake up this morning to UK news that we'd like to ban Twitter I'm
already seeing some good evidence this is happening. If you don't
believe that politics is relevant action in our society you wouldn't
be alone. But you'd still be in a disaffected minority. Please
understand that the rest of the billions of people are going to move
to increasingly effective political means to unseat derelict and
corrosive US big-tech in order to build a better technological
society.
