The perennial tug-of-war between government interests and individual liberties is playing out in the battle over encrypted messaging. Technology tilts the field toward individuals.
If the law ever says that we are not allowed to have encryption, I am absolutely going to be one of the first ones going to jail because I’m not going to put up with that.
The way I see it is you can throw me in jail where you then have to feed me, give me proper climate control, give me a place to sleep, etc. all on your dime.
I get it, it’s internet hyperbole. But dude, if that happens please fight back. Protests, voting, or god forbid gunfire if need be. But don’t just give up and die, that’s what they want.

No you won’t. You have no idea how utterly inhumane US prisons are.
How long do you think your rights in prison are going to last once they’ve eliminated your most basic rights outside of prison?
I mean men are already getting raped in prisons, it’s only a matter of time that they introduce electric-chair torture
Not with for profit prisons buddy!

Hope you don’t live in the United States. You might end up in a Salvadoran prison. Or, almost as bad, an American one.
Lol, fair point. I suspect though that so many people would just ignore that as unlawful that they would have no way of possibly enforcing it.
