    You can’t stop it, but you can make it more expensive by using end-to-end encrypted communication and running your own encrypted personal cloud

        Some things can’t be broken, like a sufficiently strong GPG key. That’s something which can’t be backdoored in and of itself. What they could exploit is weak protection of your private key

        Other things you could use are physical one-time pads, writing notes on flash paper and burning them when not needed, holding meetings in areas where nobody has a phone or electronics in a sufficiently remote location

        All of these methods increase the expense of surveillance. Even if they could backdoor everything, there’s still the expense of assigning police agents to track groups and individuals

        If your operation is implementing proper guerilla tactics of leaderless resistance, taking out the #1 or #2 of a cell wouldn’t affect anything as everyone is trained to take on the role of each person 3 levels above them
