the great thing about the internet is that it puts you as a citizen in a superior position to your local government (assuming you can somehow hack your way thru government controlled routers, which is in most cases trivial), because thanks to the anonymous nature of the web and the global access to it you can circumvent any national censorship and expose any kind of unjustice happening in your own country. those kinds of cryptographic attacks reduce anonymity on the web and make internet users an easier target for national espionage. as internet citizens (or netizens) it would just be nice if we could keep the upper hand in this game.
