The one thing I wish you'd mentioned in this blog, but did not, is a point someone made earlier on this thread: that the fact that the CIA needs to hack individual devices to bypass end-to-end encryption means that what we are doing in promoting encryption is effective and worth doing: rather than everybody's communications being vulnerable, individuals must now be targeted.
