How is the CIA going to stop you from downloading libsodium and doing whatever you want with it?
That was most certainly not the point made here.
Go contribute to libsodium, go contribute to any reasonably well used crypto library, you've now got a big red dot on your back from an assortment of governments in perpetual conflict.
I truly worry for anyone participating in these open source codebases and not being aware of how much they are targets.
Take care of yourselves friends. Please.

So when you extorted people to play with other's crypto codebases in the previous post, were you trying to make them into targets?

Exhorted, you probably meant!

This reminds me of the Niemöller's poem. IIRC it went something like
First they came for the A2017U1s, or they would have, except he never opposed the wrongdoing.

Huh?
Cryptographers are easy meat for lions.
Care to place a long-standing bet on that? 20yrs or so? We can find a solid reasonable middleman here surely?
They very much do care. I'm willing to bet on it becoming public knowledge within that timeframe. Keen?
