## Source excerpt

In this living document, I will document reactions to uses of homomorphic encryption by members of the public. By "member of the public," I mean people who may be technical, but are not directly involved in the development or deployment of homomorphic encryption systems. This includes journalists, bloggers, aggregator comment threads, and social media posts. My main goal is to understand how the public perceives the risks and benefits of using homomorphic encryption.
