How does it feel to know that any crazy advanced tech like FTL, free energy, etc., if ever invented, would get legally barred from being disclosed or patented?

>...is a body of United States federal law designed to prevent disclosure of new inventions and technologies that, in the opinion of selected federal agencies, present a possible threat to the national security of the United States
>A secrecy order bars the award of a patent, orders that the invention be kept secret, restricts the filing of foreign patents, and specifies procedures to prevent disclosure of ideas contained in the application. The only way an inventor can avoid the risk of such imposed secrecy is to forgo patent protection.

That's the US. It's highly unlikely that Americans develop that kind of tech in the first place, so we're fine.

That's easy, just release it over the dark net, before telling anyone else.

Even easier: don't patent it.

The only way they could enforce this is assassination.

>specifies procedures to prevent disclosure
This is like those stories about people who invent over unity, cold fusion, or zero point energy and immediately get greeted by gestapo like men at their door.

Shouldn't you do that anyway, out of the commie sense of altruism?
