The disease is using technical measures to enforce laws.

yeah, I don't know. For an imagined law "government can't violate privacy" I'd feel much better with strong encryption (a technical measure) then trusting government to prosecute and jail its employees when they violate law.

Using technical measure to enforce law is a necessity, the over-stepping of bounds is the disease.
