@mala Re: The LibrePlanet panel you were on about Australia's terrible decryption law:
I asked the first questions just before rms. I had about an hour's worth of questions but had to give others a turn. I did talk to Isa a little bit after specifically about concerns with Tor, but wasn't able to find you free. That panel made a lot of people very uncomfortable. ;)
In particular, I'm curious if you know of any prior precedent in the United States (not necessarily with regards to technology) for the aid in enforcement of laws of other countries that violate the rights of US citizens under the constitution, as they might apply in this situation.
For example, I brought up the issue of compelled speech, so one example may be a case where another country has forced the extradition of a US citizen for exercising free speech rights that aren't permissible in that country. A couple of examples as it pertains to the Australian law would be: refusing to implement a backdoor, and creating a canary.
Or, do you feel that this Australian law is such that the free speech rights established by Bernstein v. United States might be able to be subverted?
I'm asking this as someone who has never visited Australia and has no dealings there. Obviously if you have operations within Australia's jurisdiction then it's a different story.
