This sounds smart. And I'm pretty pragmatic. I don't think Google and Apple and Microsoft are really trying to ruin my privacy.

But something about this makes me uncomfortable. The fact that when this appeared on the front page of HN it was with posts from Google and Dropbox about how they support this.

Google that Assange is releasing a book about, and Dropbox that went a day where it didn't matter what password you entered and has former Secretary Rice on their board.

I have a feeling this organization might help keep things like the recent celebrity iCloud break happening, but as someone else said, real security is not easy. And false security is worse than no security.
