The most amazing psy op I’ve ever seen is this convincing the public that it’s people who use encryption who are the perverts, and not the people who literally want to creep on other people’s private photos of their kids / spouses / romantic partners.

This is exactly the opposite of how it works in the real world.



Do you change with the curtains open?

Or, better, do you shit with the door open?


Defensive arguments like this are good, too.

But it feels like to really achieve successful political pushback on something of this magnitude, it really requires going on offense.

Like, why are all the headlines not "Dudes in law enforcement demand access to millions of young women's intimate photos"?


What a poetic headline
