Is it just me, or the government of India is cracking down of all end to end encryption apps like signal and element.

Really ironic but also sad cause it shows the dysfunction of the Indian legal system, laws are there but proper enforcement is not and the distrust people have in the police is for a good reason. Laws are subject to the ruling party’s will, it can be legal when it benefits them and illegal when it does not and the loopholes some of them have is another story unto itself lmao

Oh yeah I knew that, I thought another ban was enforced which made it nation-wide. My bad!
