There is some interesting discussion at the end about what this means for encrypted communications for non-criminals. Notice, the take down of these companies does nothing to end the drug trade. That is an important point.

If you don't want encryption for Organized Crime, why would you want it for the Gestapo? Police constantly abuse our Civil Liberties, acting in the dark with immunity. No one is going to take down their Nazi comms.

As someone who studied the international war on drugs very intensely early in my career, I found this latest episode of “Angry Planet” fascinating. Also quite interesting from the encryption / cell phone messaging standpoint.
