Re: Fizzled out
At that stage, you're either a) in a legally-unenforceable area or b) already in an inescapable dictatorship anyway.
I can't get in trouble for having uTorrent on my laptop any more than this software.
And, if it's done anywhere vaguely NEAR sensibly enough, it will be virtually impossible to distinguish the traffic from any other HTTPS session (and likely nodes will be running on things like AWS which means even trying to block the major endpoints will be useless).
I have no fear of someone making a piece of software that would be "illegal" to have on my laptop. There are no laws for that whatsoever. It's the actions you use that software to do that matter.
