Quote

I'm not targeting government. I'm not saying hey, I'm closing it because I don't want to give you any data. I'm saying that to protect out customers, we have to encrypt. And a side affect of that is, I don't have the data.

History rarely yields to one person, but think, and never forget, what happens when it does. That can be you. That should be you. That must be you.
