The prohibition of encryption threatens user privacy and data security, as without it, any individual or entity might access private communications and sensitive information.

It also carries the risk of facilitating cyberattacks, espionage, and data theft by malicious actors. Furthermore, e-commerce and other online businesses that heavily depend on encrypted transactions for data protection would be harmed, potentially impacting the economy.

The ban could be interpreted as excessive governmental control or censorship, generating mistrust and resistance.

Finally, the prohibition may not be effective as criminals could still continue to use encryption illegally, while ordinary citizens and businesses would become more vulnerable.
