“The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia.” https://www.newscientist.com/article/2140747-laws-of-mathema... All Australians now live with the Assistance and Access Act 2018, where yes in fact if you use the illegal math, receive a TCN and do not comply… straight to jail. | ||

Australia is dystopic in more ways than one[1], so this unfortunately does not surprise me. I probably do not have to point out the issue with the soundbite, but I am doing it anyway: The “laws” of mathematics are valid across all of existence. Last time I checked, that includes Australia. As a matter of fact, I have personally stored encrypted communications with an Australian vendor after the law went into effect (not that I knew about that law in particular). And I can confirm that the communications were indeed still encrypted. 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kYIojG707w (Honest Government Ad | Our Last Fair Election?) | ||
