    What if they decide tomorrow that critisising the government is unlawful? That you get arrested for being LGBTQ? Send “Free Palestine” at your friends and have cops at your door?

    If they allow this scanning, they just need to edit a text file to immediately flag thousands for having certain beliefs.

    Besides, the real criminals will just move encryption to a different level or find different ways to bypass this.

    Ultimately, there’s only one solution for governments. That is to ban all encryption. And hopefully that’s something we never see happening.





  • This seems less of a problem in the US, but a lot of stuff here is done with some apps that won’t run on these distributions.

    Banks have created identity provides which now the government also uses, and they’re locked down to Android and iOS. Without these, making payments or do other stuff you need your identity for gets hard. And there are used by hundreds of thousands of people daily.

    If they can run, I’d switch over instantly, but now I’m pretty much stuck.
