>That’s the crucial caveat that I think many missed regarding my call for a global moratorium: it is a prohibition on the commercial trade—that is to say, specifically the for-profit exploitation of society at large, which is the raison d’etre of the insecurity industry—rather than the mere development, production, or use of exploit code.
I don't see how prohibition would solve the problem here, people would just sell it in [insert rogue market].
Raison d'être is not trade, it's demand, and demand doesn't care about the DOJ.
Also, exploits aren't just an arbitrary good, but a tool of power themselves, so effective prohibition seems even more absurd.

What am I missing?
