But in many countries (including Germany), you are not allowed to encrypt your transmissions via ham radio, e.g. using TLS with such IPv4 addresses is against the law.

No that would only be if you were to use actual packet radio across the amateur bands with these. Some of them are used for that purpose indeed.

But the ones I’m referring too are just internet addresses you use on the public internet. Eg, ssh-ing to a raspberry pi, setting up an SDR, or just leaning BGP and suchlike.
