> How will governments police it when MaidSAFE and other systems distribute totally encrypted content?

so isn't the answer then "they'll continue to police it the way they already do"? i don't know what a MaidSAFE is, but the context of this discussion is the DHT, and so public (indexable) torrents, and so however you encrypt the content doesn't matter because you have to provide the decryption method to anyone who asks for any of the previous context (public torrents/indexes) to make any sense.

Encrypted connections shouldn’t decrypt for anyone who asks, otherwise they have no reason to exist.

The weak point seems to be the tracker or filename, but been told https hides that so not sure.
