wasnt there already pgp ssl for aim via a gaim plugin. dugg for ease of use and seems like its targeted towards win32 at the moment so maybe it will have deep market penetration.

all the more reason to encrypt everything.The more encrypted stuff the more the government will put its "super-computers" into decrypting directions to the pub

I just checked this out yesterday.One completely useless aspect of it is that it must be installed on a system before you can use it.What is the point, evidence of its use would be grounds for imprisonment and torture in some countries.

rompom7: I think he was referring to the earlier reference by flash200 to China. As soon as authorities there see some weird s**t coming out of your computer, they may know what's up and give you a stern talking to (or a jail sentance.)Nevertheless, this client is filling the increasingly more important need for privacy on the internet, and I salute Hacktivismo in their work. :)

No, privacy was never listed as a Natural right. Sry to tell you that but there are more important rights than you privacy rights. Well that being said lets see how far modded down this comment gets.
