Whoa, #TIL that Phil Zimmermann, creator of #PGP (and one of inspirations of my handle, btw), made a Reddit AMA just a few days ago:https://teddit.net/r/IAmA/comments/x3b3gj/im_phil_zimmermann_and_i_created_pgp_the_most/Some very interesting insights there. I like this one:"PGP was designed for the audience at that time, which was a population of power users - everyone who used email in 1991 was by definition a power user."There you have it: PGP is user-friendly... depending on who you call the user!#privacy

@kzimmermann that's the typical reply to people complaining about Unix. "Unix is very user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are." ๐

@kzimmermann My favorite quote: โThe "S" in "ioT" stands for Security.โ

@kzimmermann I love the irony that his (presumably?) birth year is part of his user name. I'm sure it's a matter of public record but...don't go giving that information out!

@proactiveservices let's hope it's not included in his password too!

@kzimmermannAlso this: "I have not used PGP for many years, because it does not run on my iPhone, where I process nearly all my email." https://teddit.net/r/IAmA/comments/x3b3gj/im_phil_zimmermann_and_i_created_pgp_the_most/imoi0fk/#c
