Is everything alright over there? Why are you guys trying to model your telecom infrastructure off North Korea or the Peoples Republic of China?
Blame the corporations and governments. The people have shown with our polls and petitions that we do NOT support this, yet the government (which is controlled by the companies) response has basically been ‘fuck you, we’re doing it anyway’
Also, apparently this is also happening in the EU, Australia, and the USA
Fun fact: they banned encryption on Amateur Radio frequencies.
The internet is our era’s version of Amateur Radio, so judging by historical trends, they will soon ban end-to-end encryption for internet communications.
They will never ban encryption, they may ban specific cyphers. It is too useful for them. What they will, and have done, is require platforms to either
A. use broken algorithms that they can break the key for.
B. Install application backdoors so they don’t have to mess with encryption.Just set up your own Snikket client or Synapse server. They can’t get all of us.
Encryption wasn’t ever legal for most hams. But, then, who can copy 30wpm Morse these days?
How will you guys get around it?
They’re trying to lose all their voters.
First they lock up the internet, then they lower the voting age to 16.
I don’t think it’s as bad as North Korea.
China? I mean… We’re going in that direction.
Basically a bunch of mums who cannot take care of their children (and one is in denial about her son’s suicide, attributing it to a “tiktok challenge” when his phone showed no evidence of there being such a challenge and his phone wasn’t even filming) are being a loud minority. And people who have been kicking up a fuss over it have been dismissed as terrible people, until the act comes into force and every normie needs to submit ID to use twitter.
