Maybe before Snowden corps never thought govts would be in
heavy conflict with the corp-customer relationship, essentially
attacking one of its essential foundations... crypto,
(others being features, price, usability, apps, brand, quality, etc).
ie: Previously known govt activities were relagated to tax / structure /
employment / trade / safety regulation etc which didn't directly
impact users.

Too bad corps were just starting to recognize advertise and
capitilize on the crypto relationship, with market / user awareness
results starting to develop.

Which is why Apple must win and be given every possible
support from everyone in doing so... to reject clipper v2 forever.
