Alright, we know that people who make decisions are not necessarily the ones who have a clue about the thing they have to decide on. This is widely known and accepted but sometimes leads to horrible misinformed decisions.
Today, the German Bundestag agreed to outlaw security software that might be used for malicious purposes.
Well, dear law-makers of this country, every last piece of security software can be used for malicious purposes. Just like a car. You can use a car to get to work but you can also use it while robbing a bank. You can use a fork to pick up the potato from the plate or stab that obnoxious neighbor of yours.
See the CCC press release for a first assessment and comments on the decision.
Right, off to doing more ill... err, I didn't say anything, did I?
