I'm not a tech company, and I'm not an American citizen, so US law has no influence over me. I'd build an end-to-end crypto communications system out of spite, in reaction to these laws, and I'm not particularly activist - and who knows how many other people there are like me out there. Don't give up. Adopting a defeatist attitude does nothing but help the enemy.
