I, you know, I can't say that there was a conspiracy. What I can say is that Katarina's work shows that, you know, there was clear, like, Microsoft saying, like, liberalize encryption. Don't worry.

So instead of key escrow, instead of fighting over a backdoor, instead of doing this in sort of the public domain where we're kind of losing the fight on technical and other grounds... allow companies free reign to surveil because that allows us to implement this ad-supported business model. And then the data agreements can happen behind the scene.

Now, I've completely compressed a very complex history into basically a meme. But I think the purpose is there is that there was always that gap between these sort of rhetoric and what was actually going on. And I think the I don't know, like there's like a kind of internet people, right?

This type maybe misunderstood exactly like how this, you know, who would have power over this technology, right? Like encryption is liberalized, but it's not going to be applied to protect personal communication. It's applied to protect transactions, right?
