The Pall Mall Pact and why it matters | Malwarebytes | …I don’t entirely agree that this is a good thing

Speaking as an author of “hacking tools” which have inspired the “hacking tools” of today — tools used by the kinds of people who *found* companies like Malwarebytes — I find perspectives such as this to be problematic, hypocritical, and lacking in dual-use perspective:

Commercial hacking tools have enabled intrusive surveillance practices that undermine fundamental freedom and human rights.

With a starting position like this, I worry about where we may end up for software freedom. The ITAR encryption regime and the Wassenaar “export control of malware” debacle need not be repeated.
