This will be the question that defines the era.
The singularity has come in the sense that technological progress has been accelerating and the rate of legal adaptation to it is constant. The rate of technological change outpaced legal change 20-30 years ago and now the difference is really starting to hurt.
This problem will only get worse. Can we build new laws that handle the ever growing expanse between the capacity of technology and the legal system and cultural expectations?
- rayiner 11y agoThe purpose of the legal system is to enforce cultural expectations. There is no reason to let technology run ahead of cultural expectations. Maybe one day running Tor will be routine and not a cause for suspicion. Until then, there is nothing wrong with investigating the origin of illegal activity, with appropriate measures, and requiring Tor to be raised and proven as an affirmative defense.
