 IMHO this case is different.

 Operational measuers, such as blocking spammers, viruses, or DoS
 attacks are fine. But blocking encryption is not operational, in
 fact, contrary to their notice it decreases security. It infringes
 on civil rights.

 What's the point of discussing government policies about strong
 crytography and possible restrictions thereof if it is really so
 simple to prevent people from using cryptography (in a convenient way)
 for communication?

 I repeat, this must not be allowed to happen. One would think that
 telecom and network operators knew better, but maybe they are under
 pressure by misguided (or ultra right-wing) politicians.
