I feel like anti encryption bills do nothing but allow the mainstream public go get their DMS used for ads, and punish people who don’t give all their data to cops upon arrest. I feel like people like me would just use foreign matrix instances where encryption is legal

    Something I’ve wondered about too is the scope of the laws. For example, are they supposed to apply only to messaging tools, or are they supposed to stop the use of encryption by private citizens under all circumstances? If the latter, then how would people be able to do any business (especially legitimate, legal business) on the internet at all? ACAB.
