Yeah I don’t get it. Maybe I’m missing something
Working around laws that ban E2E encryption will ultimately be seen as subversive and the legal system will go after people doing this, what part of this is unclear?
It is just to break unjust laws. In the case of encryption you are protecting your self from an increasingly authoritarian government
And my point was that the increasingly authoritarian government will eventually go after people who are trying to protect themselves in this way.
Of course they will why else would you break unjust laws.
We aren’t talking about something that directly harms another. We care talking about sending a private message and if that is against the law the laws should be openly broken.
