“I looked at the keyboard, and I thought: ‘What can I choose here that won’t be confused with a username?'” Tomlinson remembers. “If every person had an ‘@’ sign in their name, it wouldn’t work too well. But they didn’t. They did use commas and slashes and brackets. Of the remaining three or four characters, the ‘@’ sign made the most sense. It denoted where the user was … at. Excuse my English.”

Encryption Policy and Freedom of the Press
Interesting law journal article: "Encryption and the Press Clause," by D. Victoria Barantetsky.
Abstract: Almost twenty years ago, a hostile debate over whether government could regulate encryption -- later named the Crypto Wars -- seized the country. At the center of this debate stirred one simple question: is encryption protected speech?
