Would censorship legislation prevent you from doing so, if you really wanted to? We should spend more effort removing the potential harm that unwanted information disclosure can cause, rather than running around plugging leaks and jailing whistleblowers.

>Would censorship legislation prevent you from doing so, if you really wanted to? Would murder legislation prevent you from killing someone if you really wanted to? No? Then I guess there's no point in making murder illegal. Legislation makes it clear what is sanctioned. It doesn't prevent crime. It defines crime. >[...] unwanted information disclosure [...] Legislation is how you say what information disclosure is unwanted. Without it, there is no basis for handling information disclosure at all.
