I upvoted this due to mass flagging of articles on this topic, but I don’t believe this article is high-quality.

I would prefer this one were removed and replaced with Schneier’s article at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43035977, currently at 150 upvotes.

Why is Schneier now using publications like wired as tech sources? That post is filled with what look like SEO links to publications funded by USAID.

Is Schneier himself now in on the take? I used to trust him. (edit: oh I see it wasn't written by him but by a ghostwriter for a different publication. Still he loses some of my trust for this drivel on his blog)

This is a peculiarly conspiratorial response to my comment, and I don’t think I’m equipped to respond to it. Did you mean to direct this to me?

Click on the article and see for yourself. Schneier didn't author it, apparently his blog is now more like a publisher.

>This essay was written with Davi Ottenheimer, and originally appeared in Foreign Policy.

I’m still so confused. You’re talking about the article I posted a link to? Did you think I hadn’t read it?

Edit: I guess I’ll try to respond in good faith, even though I don’t totally understand why you’re asking me about this. If you click through to the Foreign Policy article, you’ll see Bruce Schneier listed as the first author before Ottenheimer.

But really, I’m not trying to imply whatever it is you’re inferring. By all means, draw whatever conclusions you like from Schneier’s authorship!
