    What if I wrote a script and shared it that allowed me to have a chat like experience but worked by sending each other SSH commands? Would that script be illegal? Will they make SSH illegal or force backdoors in it?

      This is exactly why this shit is stupid. Basic private key infrastructure will never have the backdoors they believe they need. Nor should it. The principles and algorithms are simply too well known, and there are far too many code examples to truly put this cat back in the bag. All this does is make the average person less secure while doing nothing to actual spies, terrorists or organized criminals.
