The same way companies have been made to commit not to kill dolphins,
or test products on animals, or give to Planned Parenthood: organized
public pressure, combined with threatened or actual negative

You could also, like the Luddites, pressure the inventors of computers
not to make any more of these new-fangled, fearsome things. Because
you just *know* what they'll be used for, once they develop some
database "features" and make it possible to send messages anonymously.

All right, then, I'm a key escrow Luddite. To me, key escrow is like a
host of other "new-fangled things": its disadvantages and dangers
outweigh its benefits.
