re: #275 McSpiff

Unless you were actually following the discussion leading up to #235.

I was following it. You’re completely unable to substantiate your opinion, and are now just alluding to how I don’t get it. That’s incredibly weak.

The discussion about Assange has nothing to do with encryption. The discussion of encryption came from Fozzie’s #197; it’s about an Obama adminsitration proposal to make all internet transmissions potentially tappable. That is something that would actually be a goddamn boon to people like Assange, for fuck’s sake.

You just smushed together two different conversations: one about the risks about going too far in attacking Assange’s releases of information being bad for the net, and one about weakening encryption being bad for the net.
