Not to mention that you cannot outlaw mathematics.
Because the only way to prevent people from sharing open source code for end-to-end encryption that takes back-doorable companies like Apple and Google out of the loop is by outlawing the math behind encryption.
- recursive 11y agoI think there's some precedent for this. I remember export controls on web browsers because their encryption was too strong or something.
- CyberDildonics 11y agoThat doesn't make it any less ridiculous.
