What makes you think other countries don't have similar laws? Also, code as protected speech isn't even agreed on in the US AFAIK [0]

Currently it's not doable by anybody (except sender and recipient), so legally enforceable = legally doable = illegally doable = backdoor. Do we really need to point this out every time? It isn't too hard to understand that maths/cryptography has no concept to differentiate between police man, judge, or hacker.

It isn't too hard to understand that half the apps sell snake oil as well. By the standard used by them "encrypted" communication happens if mechanically aes is being used when talking to server. > What makes you think other countries don't have similar laws? What makes you think other countries have similar laws. They are vaguely similar. Defamation laws are plaintiff friendly in EU. If you say something and you aren't completely sure it is true and will be recognized by courts as such then you are liable. Then you have attacks that would be unthinkable in US, like proposal for law penalizing utterances of "polish death camps" with 3 years. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/use-phrase-polish-death-camps-in-poland-and-you-may-go-to-jail-180960167/?no-ist http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/use-phrase-polish-d...
