"Why doesn't the state protect everyone from ___?" is a naive question.
Almost anything can be a significant security issue for the state. They have to carefully choose where they are going to spend effort & money.
And they pick whatever will keep them safely in power... which never ever includes "strict regulation of vacuum cleaners".

- CamperBob2 11mo agoThe government's idea of regulating encryption-related technologies is to prohibit anyone but the government from using them. No, thanks.
