I feel like anti encryption bills do nothing but allow the mainstream public go get their DMS used for ads, and punish people who don’t give all their data to cops upon arrest. I feel like people like me would just use foreign matrix instances where encryption is legal

    Yeah really it would undermine the very foundation of the modern world. e-commerce, online banking, retail and commercial money transfers, online payment providers, account security, business communication, and a million other things rely on encryption. That’s why it is so baffling to me that they’re trying to kill it. Unless the plan is something like “let us read your Facebook and WhatsApp messages”, in which case it’s just creepy and unconstitutional.
