ditto , Tom has always been one not to "sky is falling" about N.N. Not sure which show but at least once he stated that if it does become a problem, there are engineers that will work around it and he has also said there is no law the the present TCP/IP system setup of the Internet is the best way to go. Kuddos to Tom for not being one to automatically shutdown those he disagree with 'Net Neutrality Must Survive'. and yeah, Patreon stop annoying with popups.

So far, your show is one of the few that takes a reasoned stance on the complex topic and addresses all sides of the issue. Thank you for the hard work, and the great coverage. Keep up the great work!

2017-12-01 20:49:05 +0000 UTCReally appreciated Bart Busschots two points about encryption. So HTTPOS or in flight encryption is one thing; and PFS (Perfect Forward Secreacy) applies along with the international and brute force concerns. While hard drive encryption; is another. Steve Gibson address both of Bart's point with the same conclusion. Although Steve added that apple could have had the individual hardware encryption key exported and encrypted in such a way that a key from Apple and the Government would be required to decrypt the key from the Apple Escrow. This way Apple couldn't alone decrypt Chinesse, Russian, or USA phones without the government of that region of the word also using their key to decrypt the iPhone encryption key.
