Sometimes you have to disincentivize behavior with prison time and things like that and then hope people don't do it. Trying to prevent some crimes ahead of time is a recipe for dystopia.


In this case, "trying to prevent some crimes [of government employees leaking the golden key]" possibly means "don't make a golden key that lets governments freely hack everyone", which is generally being regarded in this thread as the non-dystopian result.
