You seem under the impression this software is being developed exclusively by big governments. It's mostly tiny shops in Israel, Bulgaria and such

Who would issue and enforce such a ban? The US?

For a start, yes. Also Israel, of course, and anywhere else countries host these kinds of malware companies. A trade ban would inevitably be best implemented via a treaty, but there's no reason unilateral action can't happen first.

I can't tell what your point is, exactly. You're just making a cynical point that this won't work so we shouldn't even try?
