    In order to retain our rights to private communications, we have to win every time.

    In order to take them away, they only have to win once.

    They will keep trying.

    Stay vigilant.

        There are certain kinds of rules and discoveries that society can make that they must defend by making rules that eliminate anyone that dares bring the adverse ruling up again. You want slavery and propose it back into law? Society kills you for that.

    The real challenge is getting loved ones to care enough to use a FREE encrypted communication app.

    Its like they see privacy as an anti-feature and would rather leave the door wide open for anyone to come rummage through their messages.

    From a cybersecurity perspective, it is nearly impossible to create a backdoor to a communications product that is only accessible for certain purposes or under certain conditions.

    Oh? It is possible? Pray tell, how?

      Screen recording or snapshots like Windows Recall. Or keyboard telemitry.

      But that’s it I think.

    If the law ever says that we are not allowed to have encryption, I am absolutely going to be one of the first ones going to jail because I’m not going to put up with that.

    The way I see it is you can throw me in jail where you then have to feed me, give me proper climate control, give me a place to sleep, etc. all on your dime.

      I get it, it’s internet hyperbole. But dude, if that happens please fight back. Protests, voting, or god forbid gunfire if need be. But don’t just give up and die, that’s what they want.

        For the entire time I have lived on this planet, I’ve been pretty confident that my daily activities would generally be considered legal, and that the Federal Government had literally zero reason to be interested in me or anything I did.

        Now, though, I am aware that the government can disappear me and rendition me to a death camp, without trial and even without habeas corpus.

        As far as I can tell, if I’m being arrested I no longer have anything to lose. I am aware of that, and should it come to that, I understand why people are saying to act accordingly.

        That is as far as I am going to say in this conversation.
