My Thoughts On Reset The Net

The Reset The Net initiative plans to run splash screens on major sites on June 5 encouraging users to protect themselves from mass surveillance. I have been asked what I think of the project and my answer is simple – any initiative that results in more people using encryption is a good thing. I am uncertain as to how effective this will be at actually bringing about the legislative change we need to actually address the root cause of the problem but remain hopeful that such a targeted response may indeed get some people talking.
