    Separate airgapped device running an encryption app. Type text on it, it spits out a ciphertext, then, use internet connected device to scan the ciphertext, OCR*, then send to target receipient, they also use this same airgap encryption device and they OCR, then decrypt using their key.

    *Instead of OCR, you could also use a QR code to have error correction

    Tell me how they can ban this? Anyone using a raspberry pi with a battery and touch display attached into one compact thing, is a criminal?

    What if we just start using One Time Pad? Can they ban that?

    Steganography?

    Like seriously, how do you even stop “criminals” using steganography?

    So, to Big Gov, here’s my question: Are you gonna ban talking to other people becuause criminals also talk to other people?

      They don’t care about your messages, they don’t care about terrorists or pedophiles.

      They do care about the general population, and wants to control it. That’s what this is all about. The hard right wants to have effective tools to slam down on dissent when they get in power.

      A game as old as humanity.

      Shameless plug, because I’m trying to do my part ☺️ : Tenfingers sharing
