          I thought this went further back to like ~98 and lawsuits around “export grade” encryption and the NSA was partnering with cell phone providers.

            I remember that… Funny how you don’t really hear about that anymore. Hunh.

              That’s because they’ve relaxed on it a bunch. Also, the stuff they were pushing in the 90s really wasn’t secure.

              There was a Darknet Diaries episode that covered a lot of this, but I can’t remember which one.

      The public record of public servants should not be encrypted in a free nation.

      That includes their speech and actions and the tools they use to disseminate them.

      This isn’t hard.
