RE: Agent provacateurs may be used to provoke a tax crackdown
I agree with everything you had to say but do the authorities care if their policies are effective? Some are trying to ban encryption and no one who knows anything about information security thinks this is even possible to do.
It's way to too late to ban anything.
You forget that tied up with these technologies is lots of tax revenues and international prestige.
If they decide to ban it all...other countries will simply carry on and surpass the relics and gain prosperity and economic leverage.
The most they can do is try and control it and fail.
As powerful as these authoritarian countries are ...they're not the world.
