I'm glad you agree that knowing someone's name, age, and address doesn't prove their trustworthiness, because I don't want trust decisions to be dependent on threats of state-backed violence or mob vigilantism. It is pos

Trusting the country that operates the ccTLD of your website is a much better situation than having to trust all the countries that have CAs operate in them. A malicious CA in one country can issue a fraudulent certificate for a site in a

Do you think that the state shouldn't be allowed to kill unwanted Down syndrome babies after they are born because "that's eugenics"? What about Down syndrome adults, who are reliant on state benefits? In case it's

The reason why DRM has failed in the past is that it only takes one person to crack the DRM on their own device, and then they have an unencumbered digital file which can be copied and distributed freely. Applying DRM to kernels and applica

There are some good arguments in here, but I think it misses the broader picture. Clearly someone at GCHQ has told the UK government that if they want to ban secure apps like Signal, they first need to get the apps taken out of the app stor
