We may live interesting times. Things are going to change, labeling the change "good" or "bad" now could be still premature, but anyway, we are starting in a situation that we can deal with, and going to another that we could or not. And maybe more important, is a trend pretty hard to revert, if things keep changing we could hit in some point of the road a place that is definately bad.
First, technology enables to do so, its not fireproof, but at least is a try. Doing it at ISP level, at explicit request of the ones that pay for that service, is a way to avoid children to sidestep whatever measure you put in a place where they could potentially control. Some routers enable you to define the DNS they push in, and put i.e. OpenDNS, but is easier to just ask your isp if have that functionality.
Anyway, is up to the parents to choose how to educate their childrens, and to decide what is good or bad for them.
The first thing you think about "PGP encryption cracked" is that a random.pgp file that you got isolated somehow (i.e. intercepting a mail with it attached) could be cracked and decrypted in minutes, no extra hardware required.
But this goes to the RAM of the computer where still resides somehow the passphrase to decrypt the file. Is a bit more serious, but not so much different than claiming that you cracked pgp encryption because you had a keylogger installed.
So the answer to solve the problem of people with emotional/psychological problems, or plain drunk, or whatever having weapons is to keep selling them weapons, but with extra features and more expensive?
That is the answer for the question of how to get more profit for the gun makers, not for making guns madshooter proof.
If parents want to protect their children for things that they consider objectionable they could use a government proxy to block what the government think that is objectionable or ask their isp for filtering (to avoid messing with i.e. browser configuration), but must be the parents option.
Of course that matters, with that information sharing you won't be just a number next monday. Identifying people so easy to fool is vital for national security.
Was pretty used with Rexx when had to start messing with perl, almost 20 years ago. Urgh, it was so ugly, at least compared with the (for me at that time) elegant rexx way to i.e. parse strings. But also noticed how powerful perl was, how much more i could do with it, and eventually moved to it as my main scripting language when moved to Linux. Now moving between it, python and bash, depending on the problem, even if i could do most with just one of them. But probably would not be using back Rexx, not sure how much the language changed, but I did.
Maybe not evasive action by itself, but something that some hero between us did. Bruce Willis already saved us in Armageddon, and now, seem that Kim Jong did it too. Too bad it was misunderstood what happened with that earth defense satellite after making those asteroids to move away.
The main advantage isnt price, but at the very least flexibility (having the code available may not be an advantage for you in particular, but someone else could do an improvenment on it that you could need). Security, embedding it on routers or even cellphones, freedom in general of doing with it what you need, not what Microsoft think you should, are other potentially important points.

Because Artificial Intelligence beats Natural Stupidity. I propose to call the computer to which we give the control of the nuclear weapons Colossus.
By the time we get to this levels of mass hysteria will be already too late... ok, already is anyway.

It's about Instagram, but applies too. Living in a walled garden is nice until the gardener wakes up drunk and want to make changes.

Your information is our information, and my information is only mine, no matter where in the world you are.
Maybe porting them for the OS of the Steam console could give some extra reasons.
You build things over it, like desktops (like KDE) or mobile (like the upcoming Sailfish) environments.
One framework to rule them all, making programs for all platforms, including mobile ones, is a nice goal.
If were lawyers involved, then attribute it to malice, not stupidity.
You don't need a big explosion to have something that qualifies as a great dying. We could have already done it, by some definition

No matter how it ends, Earth shoot first.
That will be done by the cause of the Second Great Dying, this time will be something a bit bigger than a microbe, in fact will look a lot like us.
Now Santa won't be your parents anymore. Now will be your Big Brother.
N9 users in China will have to wait till next year to use Sailfish OS store.

Probably more in the line of this
Wonder if touch input is counted as mouse coordinates. If so, is at the very least a keylogger.
World peace was reachead at last, at least for cats and dogs. What a discovery!
