Re: [perpass] Cops hate encryption but the NSA loves it when you use PGP

Hi,

Out of rare curiosity I actually read the comments to the 
article.  The take out was that people are both generally
pissed off about all the mass surveillance, and they
were proposing/suggesting/arguing various reasonably
considered response arguments.

Of course there was a bit of flaming, but I was rather 
satisfied to see a collection of reasonable
responses to the "encryption is dangerous"
contents of the article.

Of note was the general complaint that the site only uses http.

So, whilst the tech community does its best to respond to
the challenge of human rights abusing mass surveillance,
some parts of the general community are learning/thinking
about the problem and conversing about it.

This, I take as the most positive part of this standard
"encryption is bad" rubbish.

Regards,  Hugo
