If Syrian rebels aren't using computers, why would pro-government forces bother to send them malware? See: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/12/iinternet-back-in-syri...

Your unsupported claim that the "majority of cryptographic transmissions are for child pornography and drug purchases" is insanely wrong.

Given the default use of HTTPS by Google, Hotmail (Live.com), Twitter and most recently Facebook, it is almost certain that the legitimate traffic to/from those sites vastly outnumbers, by several orders of magnitude, whatever encrypted data is sent by folks exchanging child pornography images or buying drugs via silk road.

You don't know what you're talking about.
