We definitely all need to step up and help explain this shit to other people. It's a challenge to understand for a layman.

- GoodIntentions 13y agoNot really a challenge. This is how I explained it to my non-technical father years ago: "Nothing you do online is anonymous. There is a record of everything you do." He understood it right away and ( I think ) has always treated everything online as public. No need to go into any technical details.
- Steuard 13y agoThat's not really the same issue as in these latest revelations, though. The latest bit really is fundamentally technical, and folks like the article author may only focus on the easier-to-understand national security interest and overlook the downsides of the NSA weakening public crypto.
