We need to start building crypto in, from the beginning. The crypto should be just another feature--totally transparent to the user. That way, when it is later decided that everything has to be monitored for commercial, or security, purposes, it now has to be explained how a feature--which the user has been taking for granted--will now suddenly disappear. The hope, of course, is that this would be more difficult for Acme Inc. to do, as opposed to just silently handing out the keys to the backdoor. I also believe that this way of doing it--essentially announcing that privacy is ending when cryto is removed--might cause a bigger outcry. It is pretty clear, by the lack of reaction to threads like these, that the user already expects to be monitored. We need to change the default back to a world where the user is not being watched.
