> This is a fundamental attack on freedom of speech. It asserts that computer files and their dissemination via electronic means are not protected speech, and that the design of an object can be restricted in the same way the physical object can. These are ideas so stupid only an intellectual could believe them. Is it? Or is it an indication that there are limits to the freedom of speech, because other important considerations prevail? Is this also freedom of speech: The CRISPR-CAS recipe to create human-transferable bird-flu? The CAD files for nuclear centrifuges, or a nuclear bomb? The graph database with the detailed network of spies/informants working for a particular country? I don't know..
