“Common people must have a secure, encrypted method to send and receive private messages. This method must be as secure as we can make it from intrusion.

The fact that we may be willing play fast and loose with our privacy in some contexts for certain rewards is not equivalent to our willingness to forgo it entirely.

Further, since such a method is against the interests of nearly every possible authority, we cannot expect them to instigate, sustain, or even allow it to exist or be developed.

The responsibilities and the liabilities fall to us to deal with actively and intelligently.”
