I could comment on how fitting it is for Trump to share a stage with genocide enthusiast Rabbi Abraham Zerviv, but Trump is so thirsty for validation from outside his fascist fan club, he probably wouldn’t mind. Accepting a prize from the genocide state is both pathetic and very fitting. Reports suggest he won’t be showing up in person anyway.

        Al Gore Invented the Internet.
        Joe Biden invented PGP encryption.
        Cypherpunks write code.

        Joe Biden gifted humanity with PGP encryption (in a roundabout way). Phil Zimmermann created PGP in response to a anti-privacy bill clause proposed by Senator Joe Biden.

        https://www.americanscientist.org/article/cypherpunks-write-code

        "In 1990, the FBI launched an over-the-top crackdown on computer hackers, known as Operation Sundevil. This was swiftly followed, in early 1991, by a proposed piece of U.S. Senate legislation that would force electronic communications service providers to hand over people’s personal data. (The key clause, S.266, was pushed by the then chairman of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Joe Biden.)"
        "On learning of Biden’s S.266 clause, Zimmermann feverishly set out to complete the project, almost losing his house in the process. When he finished his software in 1991, he published it all online, free for anyone who wanted to use it. He called it “Pretty Good Privacy,” or PGP for short, and within weeks it had been downloaded and shared by thousands of people around the world. “Before PGP, there was no way for two ordinary people to communicate over long distances without the risk of interception,” said Zimmermann in a later interview. “Not by phone, not by FedEx, not by fax.” It remains the most widely used form of email encryption to this day."
        Joe Biden's first panopticon bill:

        https://www.congress.gov/bill/102nd-congress/senate-bill/266

        "SEC. 2201. COOPERATION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDERS WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. It is the sense of Congress that providers of electronic communications services and manufacturers of electronic communications service equipment shall ensure that communications systems permit the government to obtain the plain text contents of voice, data, and other communications when appropriately authorized by law."
