It's been done, kinda. Guy named Hannu Rajaniemi wrote a dilogy called "Jean le Flambeur." I think it's in the second book, The Fractal Prince, the lead character visits Mars, which has a society where everyone has the ability to encrypt and/or sign all interactions; citizens have an organ that facilitates this, making the operations as fluid and natural as speaking. It's well thought out, well written, and the series is an entertaining read. It reminded me of John C Wright's "The Golden Oecumene" trilogy.
this. this is the privacy truth of the year right here. shout out to all the insane people. we dont deserve them.
They have never said that, did they?
Where did they say that they were comfortable doing that? I don't see a word or an acronym of it.
Sometimes you must do things that you are not comfortable doing, but you just can't avoid it. Doing that for the ISP (who need to set up the cable into your home and the gateway) is not the same as doing that for e.g. netflix or facebook.
