It may be wrong, but it proves that technology can't beat politics and policy.

The issue with Apple caving to UK demands regarding encryption, and now Signal being in a similar situation, shows that you can't just focus on technology and ignore policy and politics.

And you'll find out that a ton of people here on HN will care, but most of the public won't.

People should take XKCD 538 really to heart (The 5$ wrench one). It's not the same point, but very similar. https://xkcd.com/538/
