Story: Lord vows to fight cybercrime laws

Actions speak louder then tools, methods or knowledge.

But still, one has to wonder, why is only one Lord raising a voice? Isn't that much too little, too late?

Also, should this law with such a mindset pass nonetheless then I would like to suggest to extend that same mindset to, say, people trained in or teaching martial arts, like some goverment officials are. After all, knowledge of, training in and being skilled in martial arts would allow such a person to cause serious harm in a variaty of situations. Thus, following the mindset in the mentioned cybercrime laws, say, police officers should no longer be trained in the art of self defense even though offense (taking the initiative and so on) can be a very good defense. Don't get me wrong, the right to self defense would still remain but just training yourself in self defense would be a crime. In fact, why not get rid of the entire military while you're at it and replace them with an army of law makers. After all, they seem to know best. Although that could easily turn out to be two, three even four times more expensive and magnitudes of that less effective overall.
