    Any circumvention argument misses the point.

    90% of people won’t. The remaining 10% will be flagged and can be scrutinized more manually (without any violence which will get into news). It’s the way any surveillance works. Which is why non-backdoored e2e encryption for everyone in everything everywhere and death of centralized services are important to fight surveillance.

    It’s like flowers covering body parts on photos, we kinda guess what’s there. If the whole photo is covered with flowers, that’s another story.

      Wait till they make TOR illegal and force people to mask TOR traffic to look like HTTPS. Then produce a stream of rubbish alongside said HTTPS traffic so as to fool authorities. Lol at them thinking non-profit tech gurus are going to give them cake

        You are answering a comment explaining why this is bullshit. “Gurus” are sufficiently rare to have other kinds of surveillance.

        For some reason in every bad event there are plenty of people thinking evil is stupid.

          What I’m trying to say is said gurus will build something that the masses can use (to the extent of the masses that know what Threema and Briar are).
