The disjoint described by @shashj in this Tweet, nicely encapsulates a lesson for Civil Society regarding technology:

Why Signal won’t compromise on encryption, with [@SignalApp] president Meredith Whittaker
There are a lot of people out there who equate writing good, secure, privacy-enhancing software, with promotion of “self-evidently problematic” anti-statist libertarian agendas which they rail against — presumably because they’re worried that society (i.e. they) will lose something from reducing the potential for surveilling the populace*.
