[liberationtech] Feedback for debate on encryption with former FBI General Counsel

[Jonathan Wilkes]

So it's
a former FBI lawyer
vs.
the former FBI lawyer's friend who doesn't use SSL, doesn't have a GPG key/fingerprint on his site, nor really any time to do his own research on a foundational principle in his area of expertise.

I do not think this will end up being a very vigorous debate, but I'd very much love to be wrong.


Best,
Jonathan

I was in school years ago with Andrew, and the debate will be on the merits but not personal.  With that said, only the best arguments will work.
