Timothy C. May:
We may be able to rally enough opposition this time around to make work on SKE an "unsocial" thing to do (Recall our strategy of making Clipper vendors corporate outcasts, with our "Big Brother Inside" approach?).
Um, how much good has this actually done?
Kragen
I'd say it's pretty obvious, from the many articles, editorials, etc. against Clipper. Cypherpunks were by no means the only, or even the dominant, factor. Many factors were involved. Clipper became a national joke, with 80% of polled Americans against it. And corporations were loathe to associate themselves with it, especially after the initial, highly-negative reaction. A campaign of ridicule is often effective. If and when Microsoft unveils government-friendly key escrow, I expect we'll be ready with some nice slogans...I know I will! --Tim May, coiner of "Big Brother Inside" and other slogans. -- ..........................................................................
