@ch3root It's complicated but I'll try to give an answer in a tweets. In short, no. Outlawing crypto would amount to outlawing commerce. -
@ch3root And in order to outlaw strong crypto for personal communication you would need to be able to constantly inspect private belongings. -
@ch3root Otherwise there's no good way to determine if someone is using strong e2e encryption or weak without actually trying to crack it. -
@RichFelker Oh, I guess there are many ways. 1) Encryption could be strong but with govt will hold keys (what Kazakhstan trying to do) -
@RichFelker 2) Encryption could on the level that only govt could break it -- no need for extra-strong encryption for commerce. -
@RichFelker 3) Rules are not required to be totally technically enforceable. Just arrest some activists for a bogus reason, inspect their\ -
@RichFelker belongings and throw them into the jail. - 6 more replies
