Re: Another ridiculous law that will fail, even if it passes
Encryption ban and simultaneously ban on public WiFi? Does this mean any use of WiFi becomes illegal, or is it still permitted to use WiFi "protected" by WEP or similar shit non-encryption?
My sad experience from having lived few years under martial law in Poland is that secret services benefit in many ways from taking your liberties away, and because of that they will push relentlessly. Surprisingly, it is not making it easier to identify and track extremists, just like making more hay does not make it any easier to find the needle. However, it is in making it easier to detain and interrogate just about anyone, because everyone has violated some laws. You don't have your personal ID while on the street? Come with me please. Forgot to fill the form 27B/6 when contracting home repairs? Tax authorities will now raid your account.
"Give me the man and I will find the paragraph" is one lesson that Western governments have taken from Stalin.
