It&#x27;s not the same as gun control. A gun is a physical thing that cost money, has reliable detection mechanisms, has risk to ship, and so on. A message is just bits or timing that can be coded into anything with little skill or cost by anyone. Free tools all over the Internet to do it, too. Controlling the flow of guns is nowhere near as hard as controlling the flow of information.<p>Just ask all the gun control states also attempting to prevent crime and track dissidents via mass surveillance. Their failure rate is through the roof except for the most incompetent or uneducated targets. And even some of them slip through.
