The manifesto is a foundational text for the cypherpunk movement, advocating for privacy and the use of cryptography in an open society. The original text can be found at <a href="https://www.activism.net/cypherpunk/manifesto.html">https://www.activism.net/cypherpunk/manifesto.html</a>.</p></blockquote> <p><em>Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn&rsquo;t want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn&rsquo;t want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.</em></p>
