[liberationtech] to encrypt or not to encrypt?

[dan mcquillan]

a few people who came to our university cryptoparty asked whether they're
just going to draw attention to themselves by encrypting email.

the latest leaks seems to give a firm 'yes', as the NSA specifically keeps
encrypted comms indefinitely.

sample news item:

how would list members answer the question 'to encrypt or not to encrypt'?

cheers
