“Cryptography is useless because governments agencies will kidnap you and hit you with a wrench” isn't the hill I expected you to die on TBH.

> I kind of don't understand the rebuttal you're trying to write here.

Fill free to make the effort to read it (again).

I have no idea who you're responding to because nobody on this thread has made that argument.

[stymaar]

Maybe if you made your point straight instead of making laconic remarks this discussion would be more constructive…

All I got from your few words is that apparently you consider the NSA breaking into a random foreign app a reasonable threat model to design around. Abduction from the CIA being only marginally more unlikely, why bother with anything?

Or maybe I misunderstood your point but then again when you can't bother writing down two consecutive sentences how am I supposed to read your mind?

[tptacek]

I can't help you with any of this, but again: the argument you made about cryptography and jurisdiction, nobody on this thread has taken the other side of.

[stymaar]

It's getting outright fascinating, why do you even stick in this conversation if you don't want to engage in it with more than one ambiguous sentence at a time?
