MODERATORS
You are 100% right.
They can't ban encryption, yet they can make it difficult. If all noobs don't use encryption, only the pros are left. That means they only have to spy on 10 instead of 100 people. Those that don't use encryption aren't interesting.
The problem is that they can't spy on the 10 and hence they spy on the 90 and wait for the 1 guy making a mistake and becoming one of the 90.
Fairly sure my good Eastern Europeans don't give a fuck about what France and Germany think and will pirate and TOR and I2P their merry life away (or so I'd like to think - you tell me)
