In my experience @thegrugq often has real opinions like this, probably from unhealthy fascination with a non-issue called terrorism.
I'm sorry for being imprecise; this is Twitter. My position is that most real-world use of exploits is 4a and 5a violation...
-
-
...that trying (or even legislating) to keep sw/hw insecure so they can exploit it is harmful to the public at large...
-
...and that developing and keeping 0days to use rather than forcing vendors to fix bugs is harmful to the public at large.

Junaid Hussein was hacked by an exploit and then killed. He had already encouraged 2 men to conduct an attack in Garland
-
it is not unreasonable to assume he would have encouraged more attacks that would have harmed members of the public.
-
whether you believe that remote assassination and hacking is ethical in conflict, it is not going away.
-
Better to try to make it go away than be an apologist for it and arm its proponents with arguments.
-
it isn’t going away, it’s already here. There’s no going back to before ubiquitous encrypted communications.

except by terrible government policy causing irreparable harm to the internet.
