The U.S. State Department is helping develop a number of general-use surveillance circumvention technologies,” Sascha Meinrath, founder of the Commotion Wireless Project, a non-profit group trying to build such devices, said in an email. “These efforts are, however, incredibly modest and need to be dramatically scaled up to keep apace of efforts by authoritarian regimes to crack down on open communications.”

and this while the obama administration doubles down on surveilling us.

Alec Ross, who served as the State Department’s Senior Adviser for Innovation under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, predicted the Iranian system would eventually fail. Ross says that Iranian youth will not accept electronic repression.

“Iran already has a vibrant digital culture with more than 100,000 blogs and smartphones everywhere,” Ross said in an email. “When the Thugocracy in Tehran tries to command and control Iran’s information environment, they are alienating a generation of Iranians who will be running that country in 15 years.”

while conveniently ignoring the same sins of the Obama admin.
