Give it a few years and EU will pass some laws to round up trouble makers like yourself.
Until the yoke of authority becomes so oppressive that everybody breaks the law, you are definitely right. They will target people. But once they get so oppressive that everybody is breaking the law and just ignoring them, then they lose all power. After all, they can't arrest everybody. Where would they hold them and who would be in charge of them and who would make them their lattes and shit.
I'm sure people were saying the same thing in 1930s Germany.
Mmmm. Good point. Now there's a frightening thought.
Trouble maker?
a person who doesn't go with the flow
The flow of mass surveillance?
yeah that's very clearly the direction EU is headed in
And that makes @[email protected] a trouble maker
Yeah I don't get it. Maybe I'm missing something
Working around laws that ban E2E encryption will ultimately be seen as subversive and the legal system will go after people doing this, what part of this is unclear?
It is just to break unjust laws. In the case of encryption you are protecting your self from an increasingly authoritarian government
And my point was that the increasingly authoritarian government will eventually go after people who are trying to protect themselves in this way.
Of course they will why else would you break unjust laws.
We aren't talking about something that directly harms another. We care talking about sending a private message and if that is against the law the laws should be openly broken.
