Re: Organising the Techies

what can we as techies do - that we are uniquely suited to do - to fight this in an organised manner, without necessarily having to closely align with any other protest group

More/stronger encryption/pervasively/PFS everywhere.

If everybody does their part no matter how they legislate it should make it very difficult for them passively read whatever they like. It then comes down to them actually getting warrants and providing evidence.

Speaking of which be nice if El Reg supported https.. Talking about stuff that GCHQ, the government and terrorists are doing in the clear isn't the most fun thing in the world.
