If this ever happened/happens anywhere, a great pastime would be to start sending streams of random data to people across the internet. Since random data is indistinguishable (theoretically) from encrypted data, I'm sure you'd waste a lot of the regulators' time. You'd almost force them to ban anything that _looks like_ random data, or give up on enforcing the ban on cryptography altogether.

I think people already make efforts to avoid being swamped with unwanted data, so anti-spam and anti-DDOS systems would probably block you and delete your streams without any human noticing.
