    People behave as if having a green lock icon were enough to consider you’re safe.

    People behave as if there were not multiple cases of abuse of PKI.

    People behave as if all those whistleblowing cases exposing widespread illegal activities by the state were not treated as normal, except those exposing them being chased and vilified.

    What I’m trying to say is that we’re past the stage where techno-optimism about the Internet made sense. They just say in the news that abusing you is good, and everybody just takes it.
