I know this is gonna get downvoted but…

This is all going to lead to needing to use some open blockchain based communication system.

E2E encrypted, routed through a public blockchain they can’t block. Use one of Ethereums L2 systems to keep short messages under a penny and route all payments through Tornado Cash so they can’t be tracked.

All open source, nothing to take down, uncensorable.

It won’t be for everyone at first it would he too technical in a lot of cases, but it’s going to he the last option at the end of this road.

  The future is in making a laptop that doesn’t appear to be encrypted. AI-powered steganography will be the only way to communicate reasonably at some point. The only thing that’ll give it away is that there are more than the usual number of poorly cropped and unique memes.

I dont see why it need blockchain unless it’s needed to keep a registry. Which for day to day communication I think it’s excessive

  It’s because it can’t be taken down. What happens when they arrest everyone working at signal? When they arrest you for hosting a encrypted message relay?
  
  That’s where language like this is headed.
  
  Ethereum also recently introduced something called blobs, which is temporary data that lasts around 18 days. So it isn’t necessary stored forever if you wanted a not as permanent message. There are archives that will keep all that as well, but it’s not maintained on the regular chain.

You are about 4 years behind the zeitgeist. Where is the AI?

  Sorry my bad. The messages will all be converted into AI slop when you submit them so you aren’t actually communicating with someone with your own written words so you have plausible deniability that you didn’t actually write any messages using encryption which is now an offense punishable by death.
