I was reading an article yesterday about how the attacks in paris were coordinated via the playstation network.
This tells me, unequivocally, that the news outlets can't possibly understand what is secure and usable, vs what isn't.
My girlfriend (whom is not very technical) was saying that PSN should open itself to police, and then I showed her the security record of Sony, and then showed her how messages are sent unencrypted over the wire.. and then showed her the wiki page on Tempora.
It's very clear to me that they're going to blame everything and anything- and we should very clearly ask the question to these publishers;

It's very clear to me that they're going to blame everything and anything- and we should very clearly ask the question to these publishers;
"whats your evidence of any wrongdoing";
"what's your ideal situation?";
"why do you feel that way"
