    Oh that’s easy. Encryption is only legal when communicating with a business that is registered with the IRS and not when doing peer to peer. There, we’ve hopelessly broken digital privacy while letting the US government determine who gets to exist online.

      Conservatives not only aren’t fans of the IRS, they want to slash its budget. So that may not be what they want either.
