Banning strong cryptography or rolling out … Banning strong cryptography or rolling out pervasive network surveillance are just some of many policy ideas proposed or instituted not only in oppressive regimes, but also in stable democracies. Tools developed by three-letter-agencies end up in the hands of oppressive regimes, and 0-day hoarding creates a market for exploits, which puts journalists and their sources in danger.
