You misunderstood me. If these people, and the others like them,
actually had freedom, they wouldn't need civil disobedience.
The analogy is to key recovery. If it gets mandated, I could still
use PGP (unless they actually come take it off all my machines). This
would be civil disobedience, not freedom.
