One thing I wish everyone writing about privacy tools would realize is that if you create a tool that's safe for political dissidents, Nazis will also use it. If you create a tool that safe for anarcho-capitalists, socialists will also use it. If a tool's 100% private, anyone by definition can and will use it, and if you put in a backdoor to keep out or keep up with that one group (whichever one), it'll eventually be used on everyone.

Wired editors are trying to stay off the "free mandatory vacation to FEMA re-education canp" list.
Ironically, they'll probably be the first to go.

'Wired did not respond to our request for comment.' Says a lot.
Many industry focused consumer publications that once ran articles with journalistic standards are now mouthpieces, astroturfing campaigns and shaping puplic consensus.
If we accept trash diction such as neo-nazi, we must also accept vague historically referenced counterparts: neo-feudal, neo-commie.. obviously, mostly utterly meaningless.

Wired, like most things, has been trash since about 2001.

It's a good sign where these things happen, it means it is starting to bother them.
