Why are Free Software developers so keen on aiding criminals?

>The program's developer, created it in response to the circumstances of the arrest of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, during which U.S. federal agents were able to get access to incriminating evidence on his laptop without needing his cooperation by copying data from its flash drive after distracting him
>Sympathizes with Ross Ulbricht, millionaire druglord who has placed multiple hits on his competitors
This leads me to believe that Free Software users be monitored by FBI and other law enforcement agencies.

Why are gun enthusiasts so keen on aiding criminals?
Most FOSS supporters consider privacy an unspoken fifth freedom. Anyway, if you're paranoid set your user agent to Ubuntu or windows.

It's a step to thwart malicious agents from tampering with your privacy and freedom on your computer.
By your account all software that can stop federal agents or impede investigation is only useful to pedos, drug cartels, and terrorists.
Normal people have a right to privacy just as much as people doing illegal activities do.
All the privacy software in the world won't help complete fucking idiot criminals with shitty opsec like dpr

nice bait faggot
Just checked out the wiki page. Looks like good software. Is it obvious it's installed? I doubt the feds would be thwarted by the software if it's obvious that it's installed.
Why is the Effing-Bee-Eye so keen

(spoiler) it's the money
Why are governments so keen on making things illegal?

>who has placed multiple hits on his competitors
Weren't most of these dropped with one of them left in legal limbo after they smeared him in the media as some psychotic kingpin?

Fuck off fascist scum
Ulbricht's arrest revealed a threat vector.
Software to address this problem was created.

Ulbricht shouldn't have left his computer unwatched without locking it. He shouldn't even have brought such important files with him. No software can fix stupid.

Why have all these totally not federal agents been making threads lately?

JTRIG and it's nothing new

He was just naive. It happens to a lot of criminals after they get away with stuff for a while they start to think they are invincible and then they get sloppy and make mistakes.
It didn't help that ulbritch wasnt really much of a gentooman to begin with, I think he even posted a question about php on stackoverflow under his real name or some shit lol.
