Encryption is not a crime, encryption protects all of us. Encryption, and especially end-to-end encryption, is an essential tool to protect everyone online. Attempts to undermine encryption are an attack to our fundamental right to privacy and an attack to our inherent right to security and safety.

    Crime is merely what the state doesn’t like, and when the state is being an asshole (say, serving the ownership class rather than the public) then ot shouldn’t mean much to be a criminal

    We were supposed to learn this from Robin Hood, I thought. Maybe Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham are the heroes now.

    How can the govt prove that I’m not part of a fetish group that gets off on intentionally sending alphanumeric gibberish to each other? Encryption? What’s that? I’m just randy, that’s all.
