In the latest iteration of the neverending (and always head-scratching) crypto wars, Graeme Biggar, the director general of the UK's National Crime Agency In the latest iteration of the neverending crypto wars, the director general of the UK's National Crime Agency has targeted Instagram-owner Meta over its planned expansion of end-to-end encryption.
I swear, I’m just gonna laugh at these clowns, honestly, and just PGP encrypt my messages that they can intercept in plain text. So fuck them. I don’t actually think they will win, but even if they did, it will only hurt law abiding people and will make no a difference to non-law abiding people.
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.

Give it a few years and EU will pass some laws to round up trouble makers like yourself.

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 @shortwavesurfer@monero.town a trouble maker
Yeah I don’t get it. Maybe I’m missing something
I am betting you they would try to intercept before you encrypt - like keylogging or something. Those fuckers.
The doesn’t fix metadata
That’s definitely true.
Still better than nothing
Its not better than better encrypted messaging apps
