We really need some sort of sane checks and balances in regards to tech that involve actual experts and not random thoughts and ideas technologically ignorant humans come up with.
Wouldn’t an anti encryption law technically outlaw SSH, SSL, and other foundational technologies? How could this possibly work?
I have yet to see this addressed by anyone in favor of such restrictions. Essentially we go back to a pre-internet economy.
