data government giving
I'm not targeting government. I'm not saying hey, I'm closing it because I don't want to give you any data. I'm saying that to protect out customers, we have to encrypt. And a side affect of that is, I don't have the data.

Certainly some things that are very good can sometimes be used in a bad way.

Everybody doesn't want to have to be a computer scientist to protect themselves. Most people have no desire to do that.
philosophy thinking government
I think that [there is] this fundamental right to privacy and the philosophy that government shouldn't be intrusive.
