Agreed, and this is one of the larger problems people in social censorship bubbles, where basically if you don't have the tech you can't talk to the person. One of the things that encryption technologies like Off the Record Messaging try to bridge. Nobody wants to be forced to use specific technology from a specific individual or entity. It's bad enough everyone uses Facebook. Decentralization is the only way to avoid this becoming a weak link. - -- scarp | A4F7 25DB 2529 CB1A 605B 3CB4 5DA0 4859 0FD4 B313 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJRE9zUAAoJEF2gSFkP1LMTOlgP/RE96vcmU5RwUU8TqdXlebCl P9MtBRye6gnYcMyNQIsrTOh9iY7xXUHfg/OYX09rBFS9zsfKS8rEJG8BlwJ57hEY ldO82Z/kEC7ZTJUlQN+sGt1eMruEzmPGb8T4nVA2CtvKAyUaiJ4HFQQ2C00HS3Pz qahL3qFp5qW5q2cPILsnMXLpZOzipQN4JD/TE/DgZNZ2OCGBt4DUAp+8jB/3BOAm j1a/mJR4Rd/StvR+ugIFefItk/H1DZNGZ9qWxrHVv8L0xYnXjkRZ+m4WsKTffTS4 AUOqFZKxU6Krg5cl63KzsA92Fdv7TsZwQeVIl9sl0swOLMZ4h8FKkw19YFTYx4s6 CwzbJ8+knwSPLXyyWrdE1cBEhTrAtQb4lWLMOxCEROV50OqbkcQyxT26Vsl89BpD Q9qVdKRTn1QwfGcODO6XfT+wlruByTJBMwd05nWAuQmqg6kgPQTIT1gjEmbC8H5p 32P106p72egFC/7r1lr9rtl1zKRE6DckfOnN7J9b7lO/C2b6AeF0w2/GYU3Fd7Ko CtWgH3xUBWJ/0sbz3ssVpm7OWtVSOQ/SZqGHy1OxrkvxDlRpjizRp5n0G6VQ5Hcz 3RppIEEIK5zU5LAOedkcMtkNAG053fkj8XlfsQy4de0bAdlxjI9bB7XLw9O+GHrX baDxW7pwheACW9RcAGEz =Elw9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Unsubscribe, change to digest, or change password at: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech
