Yes. I have heard this argument about plans for 3d printing weapons. I'm always suspicious of these arguments as really being an attack on free speech. In the U.S. we hear about dangerous misinformation that later is accepted as fact.
Interesting, haven't though of this in the context of free speech before.
I just thought about this as a way to evaluate information. Is this information valuable? What can I do with this information? What could this information do if it gets into the hands of "wrong people"?
So more from a privacy perspective. But now I see the context of free speech clearly, lol
