What we need is a way to make services based on these technologies not just &lt;i&gt;as easy to use&lt;/i&gt; but &lt;i&gt;easier to use&lt;/i&gt; for the average Jane.&lt;p&gt;If the internet as we know it is to survive, we have to crack this nut.</text></comment>

From the tweet stream provided by @conflictmedia, that was tied for 1st for most re-tweeted, along with making the Internet for users, not spies.  (It should be noted that DNSSEC is not encrypted.)&lt;p&gt;Too bad his appearance wasn&amp;#x27;t recorded, but HUGE thanks to Niels ten Oever and Rich Salz for tweeting major points!</text></comment>
