A privacy tool developer has been sentenced to over 5 years in jail because someone misused their creation for illegal activities. This sets a disturbing precedent akin to holding a knife manufacturer accountable for a murder committed with their product. Criminalizing code development threatens digital freedoms, akin to declaring books or blogs illegal based on their content. There’s a crucial distinction between creating code and using it maliciously, and this case highlights the erosion of privacy rights in the digital age.
