Eh, not any different than the performative encryption restrictions from decades past.

But those were very easy to sidestep: proxy/vpn, download java with US encryption, and move on. That is very different with this.

  • "download java" in 1993 wasn't a thing.

    • I remember the encryption export mostly from when Java came up; everything had saying that you cannot download specific packages outside the US. We did anyway. Before there were others but Java was biting us the most.
