+===== What? =====
-==== Why CryptoParty? ====
+Governments around the world, are greatly increasing their surveillance of the Internet. Alongside a loss of the private sphere, this also represents a clear danger to basic civil liberties. The good news is that we already have the solution: encrypting communications makes it very hard, if not entirely impossible, for others to eavesdrop on our conversations. The bad news is that crypto is largely ignored by the general public, partly because they don't know about it, and partly because even if they do, it seems too much trouble to implement.
-Privacy is the space in which ideas are developed, to retreat into whenever you want. This space is not only physical but digital as well. Governments and companies don't respect our online privacy and hence, we become active ourselves.
+The CryptoParty movement hopes to do something about that by inviting people to come along to informal meetings to learn about crypto, how to install it and how to use it in everyday computing in order to strengthen their privacy and protect themselves from surveillance. (Text stolen [[https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121009/06132920660/cryptoparty-like-its-1993.shtml|here]])
-==== What is a CryptoParty? ====
-CryptoParty is a decentralized movement with events happening all over the world. The goal is to pass on knowledge about protecting yourself in the digital space.
