Ouch. Which said: To: cypherpunks@toad.com Subject: (fwd) "Will You Be a Terrorist?" From: tcmay@netcom.com (Timothy C.

I think the recently-passed Crime Act has implications for what some are calling "terrorist speech" and that Cypherpunks remailers may be construed as "PROVIDING MATERIAL SUPPORT TO TERRORISTS" in the context of being "communications equipment." Consider this "food for thought." An excerpt, and commentary by the original anonymous poster, is included below. I know that our favorite optimists, Duncan Frissell and Sandy Sandfort, are fond of saying that it's already over, that we've already won, that the state is powerless, etc., but when I read the text of the Crime Bill (available from ftp.nra.org in pub/legislation), I just can't buy that. I see a growing police force, I see U.N. blue helmets, I see many more prosecutions for a growing list of crimes, I see my gun rights being taken away, and on and on. In the section below, read carefully the sections about providing support for "terrorists." Note that belonging to a pro- or anti-abortion group in which _one_ of the members uses violence (a fistfight, a jostling of a cop, or a shooting...) makes the group a "terrorist" group, under the new language of the Crime Act. I will not be surprised to hear that the Cypherpunks group is classified as a terrorist group, for a variety of reasons (not the least of which was the "liberation" of the RC4 code, the Mykotronx-government deal info, the debates about undermining the government, the talk of assasination markets, etc.). Sorry, but I just can't "Don't worry, be happy." --Tim May
