Actually, with governments around the world, increasingly stepping up the war on end to end, encryption, anyone caught developing software that facilitates encrypted communication without allowing the government to execute a man in the middle attack, will be liable for anything that takes place on those networks. Whether it’s sharing, illicit content, seditious, content, or planning some sort of violent act, or perhaps sending billion dollar transactions through encrypted channels in an attempt to circumvent capital controls, or hiding their speech from censorship, thereby harming the body politic with vaccine, denial, or criticizing some war effort. The list goes on and on. The United States has literally the best protections for freedom of speech of any country in the world, and even here there are constant attacks on encryption. So yes, I think they would simply go after the businesses first, since those do The actual transactions. Every business would have to look over their shoulder every time they use paper, cash, or Z cash, or Monero. If they use an encrypted channel to communicate, they can get a knock on the door from the state. And that’s in this country. The majority of other countries are much worse.
