Yes, in authoritarian regimes.
Which is something we need to resist in the free world.
Can you give an example of software (not data...) that is illegal to run in the US?

- rfd4sgmk8u 5y agoI think you can make a valid argument against me with this. DCMA is a hell of a law. To my defense, I would argue that this speaks to production and sale of circumvention tools, and does not actually criminalize the execution of this code. But I weaken my original position about outlawing software. Thank you.
