- throwawayboise 5y agoAgreed. Most people, when confronted with the choice of jail vs. doing what they are told, will do what they are told.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 5y agoThis works best if the individuals or companies doing this have a meaningful presence in your country and/or consider it a sufficiently relevant market. If they don't, your critical infrastructure (Internet) just stops working until you conform to the standards set by those who write the software.

And the competent criminals will still be able to roll their own encrypted communications from existing open source libraries.
