2:38— Paul: “Anybody can sue you for anything, at any time. So you need to be buttoned up, but also plan for that.”
4:48 — Paul: “In the future, if you ever want to start a business, buddy up with a lawyer. That’s my advice.”
9:42 — Rich:There’s laws right up to the constitution that protect our privacy in terms of our homes; our information.
14:07 — Rich: “How do you feel about technology that exists, that doesn’t allow for that next step?”
16:55— Paul: “I dont actually see a fundemental difference between a virtual entity (like a communication network) and a physical space (like this guy’s house).”
18:20— Paul: “It’s very hard to ban end-to-end encryption, if people want it”.
19:41 — Rich: “Privacy is sacred, and it should be respected, unless there is enough reason to infringe on it because a greater good is being threatened or harm is being inflicted in some way.”
