RSA Conference 2012 - New Threats to the Internet Infrastructure - Bruce Schneier

Today's Internet threats are not technical; they're social and political. They aren't criminals, hackers, or terrorists. They're the government and corporate attempts to mold the Internet into what they want it to be, either to bolster their business models or facilitate social control. Right now, these two goals coincide, making it harder than ever to keep the Internet free and open.

When it comes down to it.

If you want to be secure do not use software that was made by a american company or any other company that do not support open source

Verify, Verify, Verify

Be paranoid and smart

TOR, truecrypt and the open source voice software equivalent.

If it's good enough for childporn than it must be good enough for other more relevant things like how we will remove the asshole and bully that is america from pestering freedom, privacy and basic human rights,etc

Secure by definition is to disallow eavesdropping

The lawyer in me say it would be false advertisement if skype said it was "secure" when it really wasn't.

Unfortunately microsoft owns skype now, so i think this eavesdropping will happen sooner rather than later if it haven't happen already.

Microsoft is infamous for doing shady things and getting away with it

Big companies, corruption, etc..

Maybe there should be lobbiests for common sense and technical excellence.

Maybe we should be forming groups based on this. There are a lot of high paid programmers, engineers, and security professionals out there... who would stand for these things... Organize and fight back for yourselves, and for the internet.
