I'd just like to point out that the issues here are not clear cut. Teaching students to hide their activities from the authorities also enables them to hide their activities from parents and schools. I have greatest scope to teach what

I'm going to teach about HTTPS (It's already on the GCSE syllabus), but teaching TOR might be an issue. Giving students the skills to access the deepweb (Silk Road for instance) might cause some problems with parents.

I like the idea of teaching GPG as I can fit that into a general scheme on cryptography. There are problems with one of your suggestions however. If I teach students how to use a VPN, I'm potentially giving them the skills to access pi

I'm sure all of this will die down in a day or two and HN will return to links to GitHub and stories about VCs. This only happens once in awhile, the last time being when Aaron Swartz committed suicide.
