In the wake of the recent open letter by Attorney General(<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.buzzfeednews.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;ryanmac&#x2F;bill-barr-facebook-letter-halt-encryption" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.buzzfeednews.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;ryanmac&#x2F;bill-barr-faceb...</a>) to Facebook, I think it is important for us to reminisce on the topic of Cryptography and how the government has fought tooth and nail to prevent its usage over the decades. I was reading an update from Electric Frontier Foundation(<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.eff.org&#x2F;deeplinks&#x2F;2019&#x2F;10&#x2F;open-letter-governments-us-uk-and-australia-facebook-all-out-attack-encryption" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.eff.org&#x2F;deeplinks&#x2F;2019&#x2F;10&#x2F;open-letter-government...</a>) earlier today and I was reminded of this podcast episode.
