I have no idea.  I consider it virtually axiomatic that there is no invention that can be used purely for helping freedom, or used purely for harming freedom.  .But I think there tends to be a bias in the system that allows individuals to use inventions FOR freedom.  Government is slow, stupid, and tends to lack imagination.
