Very few people can use Tor or other security tools effectively and still need an intellectual infrastructure to make it work. My sense of it is that the fight is long lost, and what’s currently being fought for is the ability of a technical elite few to have truly secure networks. For the vast majority of users, if it isn’t simple, it isn’t secure. This has rather far-reaching implications for political dissidents and other sensitive populations who often aren’t versed in the technology, having often chosen other experiences that lead them to political activity.
TL;DR: The revolution needs its own IT department.
