And so, yeah, I think a lot of this extends to many places. Like you can think about online ticket selling, right? The so-called “huang niu”, you know, mass resellers, right? If a new class of non-transferable tickets is invented based on digital signatures, a whole class of this kind of not-quite-legal market is gone, right? So, yeah, I think there’s a lot of downstream applications. My main worry is, that it will compromise freedom of speech, especially anonymous ones like whistleblowing and so on.
