In this case, yes. If you provide a network interface that the
dissident's government can see, then you've already revealed
possession of the program itself. You can exclude access to certain
undesirables by hiding the network interface behind a password
authentication system. This is no different than having to distribute
source to fellow dissenters if you give them a modified binary on a
CD.
