What can be done about this? Flat illegality is probably the first thing that people are going to try, but the problem is that everyone exists in a world where the vast majority of everyone else is using a legal, mainstream system. Just try to work with people on anything that involves data and not have one of them run it through Microsoft Excel.

In the end there is no escaping the general politics that inform the makers of things. The makers of computer hardware and software have a mixture of: 1) the worst, fascist surveillance state politics 2) "ordinary" predatory capitalist politics 3) poorly thought out personal-freedom within the state politics that goes within the US by the propaganda name "libertarian"
