Slide 23.

I do not see the request from the government to remove the slide. Did I miss something? Maybe they decided to just remove the slide on their own?

Slide 23.

awakened2• 12 years ago

Ah yes. Thank you. Slide 23. But they misspelled TrueCrypt and this was 4 years ago.

Context anyone?

Things are getting spooky.

Not really. Judging from the URL, this is 2010.

"Betteridge's Law of Headlines" comes to mind.

Maybe "removed at the request of U.S. government" is referring to any sort of information about existing encrypted volumes displayed on slide 23. Since there's no context, you can't really infer what this is all about.

"TruCrypt?" Odd.

chmars3• 12 years ago

TrueCrypt is often misspelled, another example can be found at https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/replace_truecrypt/.

This was most likely a joke, which now seems scary due to observational bias.

Indeed. The most obvious interpretation of the slide, in context, is "this product is so great it should be illegal, hahahahaha."
