Sure, and someone could say it's not guns that kill people, it's people that kill people. However I'm quite happy that handgun possession is banned in my country, and the murder rate is very low as a result.
Privacy comes with a price. In this case Bin Laden likely had used Freenet to instruct those involved with the disaster in New York. So the question becomes, is YOUR privacy worth the lives of the 5000+ people who were murdered?
If not, how many people have to die before that 'privacy' is put behind the needs of society? 10,000? 10,000,000?
I'm sorry, but the price is too high for me.
