It represents the right to privacy and anonymity in the information age. It represents the rights to an open government, due process, and equal protection under the law. It represents the right to live surveillance free, and not to be marked as "suspicious" for wanting these other rights.Anybody is free to add the symbol to their websites, design t-shirts with some of their suggested slogans, or use it in other ways. And, of course, to promote the principles underlying it.
Update: just refound a very appropriate quote to include here:
If privacy is outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy.
- -- Phil Zimmermann,
cryptographer (1954- )
