So if I hire him and the job description is "test consumer grade encryption by using it in daily life"..? Dan Staples wrote: It's even more absurd considering the inevitable progress of technology over the next 10 years of Hammond's sentence.

This could have the effect of simply barring him from using any sort of communicative digital technology...making many everyday tasks impossible. The only exception in the sentence is his use of encryption as required by employment. But it's hard enough for ex-felons to find a job after getting released as it is...

Preska, who sentenced Jeremy Hammond today, said that for the three years (post-release) that he was to spend under supervision, he will not be able to use encryption for communication or storage purposes(!) which is practically a legal edict to go and build a cabin by Walden Pond.
