Google: Make security the default (Now with Iranian tweets)
Posted on:: June 16th, 2009
Chris Soghoian has posted an open letter to Google, asking it to make encryption the default. This is in line with the talk he gave recently at the Berkman Center.
[Update later that day: Two hours after releasing the letter, Google agreed to try setting encryption as the default for a subset of users, as a trial. If it works out, they’ll consider expanding it.]
Also, Jonathan Zittrain has posted about why the Iranians have problems blocking Twitter.
