"What happens when they blame strong cryptography for the next gut-wrenching tragedy"
The topic changes but the story never does. We still have rock music, teenagers, acid, dungeons and dragons, hippies, video games, atheism, firearms, meth, Islam, gays, texting while driving, basically all the good things in life, and we'll always have thousands of things in the future that are not cool with the conformist old people and will be blamed for everything bad whenever possible, and aside from a lot of journalist click bait nobody will really care.
- jordanpg 12y agoAlso worth noting that in the case of cryptography, virtually no one "blaming strong cryptography" for anything actually understands much about complex cryptographic protocols aside from what they know from watching television. It's even more of a whitewashed canard than those other things you listed.
- Jweb_Guru 12y agoUh, is it just me, or does "texting while driving" not belong in that list? Do you really think people care about it because they're "conformist old people"?
- CPLX 12y agoMan that brings back fond memories of being a teenager driving down the highway blasted on meth. Thankfully texting hadn't been invented yet.
