- etiam 13y agoI'm all for secure end-to-end cryptography, but there are plenty of problems that doesn't solve (social graph building by traffic analysis being one important example). Most importantly, encrypting does little, if anything, to solve the deeper problem that the spy organizations blatantly ignore the law and try to deceive the public and the public's representatives to get away with it. You sound cynical about the likely effectiveness of the political campaign, I know I am, but the really big problem with this whole issue is about abuse of power and how we arrange society. In my opinion, any 'solution' that doesn't address the political side is not really a solution at all.
