It feels like we’ve taken a step backwards. I remember years ago when the UK government could only communicate over blackberrys with custom certs/encryption keys. Now the UK government/cabinet seem to share everything with each other via WhatsApp groups. I don’t really see that as progress.

The progress is made in convenience, the regression is made in security.
