Can any of you, most of whom I do not doubt are far more knowledgeable
about cryptography and how it's conceptualised within the legal
sphere, offer some insight regarding this?

The claim is that Judge Loretta A. Preska, who sentenced Jeremy
Hammond today, said that for the three years (post-release) that he
was to spend under supervision, he will not be able to use encryption
for communication or storage purposes(!) which is practically a legal
edict to go and build a cabin by Walden Pond. How can this be
considered anything but cruel and unusual?
