You need to abandon your apocalyptic worldview keep up with the times my friend.

Encryption export controls have been systematically dismantled to the point that they're practically non-existent, especially over the last three years.

Pretty much the only encryption products you need permission to export are those specifically designed for integration into military communications networks, like Digital Subscriber Voice Terminals or Secure Terminal Equipment phones, everything else you file a form.

Many things have changed since the days when Windows 2000 shipped with a floppy disk containing strong encryption for use in certain markets.

Are you on drugs or is your reading comprehension that poor?

1) I did not state a world view; I simply noted that restrictions for software do exist, and will for AI, as well. As the link from the other commenter show, they do in fact already exist.

2) Look up the definition of "apocalyptic", software restrictions are not within its bounds.

3) How the restrictions are enforced were not a subject in my comment.

4) We're not pals, so you can drop the "friend", just stick to the subject at hand.


I'm high on life, old chum!


You enjoy, then :)
