>It's so trivial to work around this that I'm stunned they're even bothering to implement it. This does not matter one iota. People have been spied upon for ages with things that are even more trivial to work around. Also, that it's trivial to some means nothing, if it's not trivial for others, or if they are not bothered. Can you guarantee that your grandmother or friend will also "work around" this --and other such measures? You don't really believe that they can get information about you only from YOUR system? Lastly, even if its trivial to bypass and useless, it raises the Overton Window. Society accepts that --already an unthinkable level of surveillance 2-3 decades ago--, and they'll come up with something more intrusive next time. Plus, they make the laws. If they can get away with that one, they could also get away with outlawing "working around it", and all related tools. In that case, they don't even need to "break" Tor to get people. They can execute some warrant search to your house (for whatever reason), or even a routine laptop search at the airport, and arrest them if they see such a tool MERELY installed on it.
