Cypherpunks list - Re: Tim Misfires / Re: Joichi Ito as a Junior Policeman

Ito: Really, what I am try to do is two things:

1) Make sure that Japan makes the right decision about crypto policy so that they do no stifle commercial development of crypto or put at risk national and individual security/privacy by implementing a weak system because of political pressure or domestic surveilance requirements.

2) Make sure that Japan does not repeat the US "Hacker Crackdown" and more recent Australian crackdowns which I think can cause a rift between hackers and society.
