Rubber hoses don't scale. With our technological solution, we make it so that the government can't access 99.9% of all conversations. If they want to access a conversation here or there, they can use a rubber hose. But if they want to see every conversation in a person's social network (including conversations they weren't directly involved in), then they aren't going to be able to do that anymore.

Technology helps a lot. It brings us from a panoptikon to a situation where enforcement has to be done on an individual basis. That's a big win for freedom in my book.
