Anti-encryption is a red herring. The real fight is against general purpose computing. If I control my CPU, then I can easily implement the Diffie-Hellman algorithm and communicate secretly with my friends around the world. Any ban against encryption is ineffective unless it attacks general purpose computing. We live in scary times!

i’m sure some politicians will understand this as: “ok then let’s attack general purpose computing/your control of the cpu”

  Of course they already do. That's why I say it's scary. We live in Stallman's "The Right To Read" dystopia.
