If that&#x27;s directed at my comment in particular you seem to have completely misunderstood what I was saying.<p>I&#x27;m not advising anyone one way or another about whether or not to connect themselves at second degree to Bill Binney.<p>Those who would choose to associate themselves with anyone in the Cast Iron category however, would do well to realize that it&#x27;s a decision that affects many, many more innocent people than themselves.<p>The current state of affairs in these matters is of course a repugnant one and ought to be ended as soon as possible. If someone believes they can contribute to that end most effectively by inviting an even more extensive automated spy dossier on their every action, those of their friends and of their friends&#x27; friends, maybe that is what they should be doing.<p>Personally I think I object at least as effectively by pulling every person I reasonably can over to securely encrypted communications and educating nontechnical people about what is being done to them.
