What's next, criminalising the act of speaking in languages the police don't understand?
Well, in the sense that criminalizing stabbing someone is the same as "criminalising hand movements".
There are better defenses to be made for encryption than "but it's math".
It obviously was your "best-effort", since it was your only effort. The comment didn't include any other.
And whether you meant it just as sarcasm or not, many put it forward sincerely, as if it matters.
Unless I'm mistaken, it's like they're working for a scam technical support racket who call the phone at midnight and talk in a foreign accent.
"The NSW government will introduce laws to confiscate unexplained wealth from criminal gangs and ban the use of encrypted devices as part of long-waited reforms to combat money laundering and organised crime."
...
“These reforms will make it an offence to possess these kinds of devices and allow us to better target high-risk individuals from using them to orchestrate crime.”
Hard disk drives and SSDs. All modern games consoles, televisions, set-top boxes. Those Keurig coffee machines with DRM coffee capsules and all of their ilk, possibly inkjets and their cartridges. Car key fobs. The list goes on.
I am assuming there are several actual real not-run-by-the-police systems that they are referring to, I can see the NSW government introducing some really silly legislation that turns out to accidentally criminalize ios and android. Oops.
there are particular things, such as ghost phones, digital currency, and origin of revenue that sound like issues to address mentioned here as well
