Comment on Governments continue losing efforts to gain backdoor access to secure communications

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.

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.

  This is a huge part of how the system’s rigged against you, it gives incentive for the most braindead laws designed to imprison as many (poor) people as possible such as the conjoined enterprise laws in the UK.

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

No you won’t. You have no idea how utterly inhumane US prisons are.

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.

  For the entire time I have lived on this planet, I’ve been pretty confident that my daily activities would generally be considered legal, and that the Federal Government had literally zero reason to be interested in me or anything I did.
  
  Now, though, I am aware that the government can disappear me and rendition me to a death camp, without trial and even without habeas corpus.
  
  As far as I can tell, if I’m being arrested I no longer have anything to lose. I am aware of that, and should it come to that, I understand why people are saying to act accordingly.
  
  That is as far as I am going to say in this conversation.
