Well they’re actively trying to ban encryption so good luck.
Americans: “We want online privacy!” Southern republicans AND California dems: “Best I can do is age verification for porn.”
Re: CA
It got through CA’s state assembly, but it has apparently died in committee on the way to the state Senate.

The only way to get politicians to care about online privacy is to make it affect them personally. Make more bots that track their private jets, reveal their secrets. Buy their data from data brokers and make it public.
Or they will enact laws protecting themselves but not everyone else.
This is my top interest. The only representative I know that I would trust to listen is Jeff Jackson, but he’s been gerrymandered out of his House seat and is running for NC State attorney general this year. I’ve never seen anyone as transparent and understanding of what his role is supposed to be. Gives me hope that there might be others like him.
We literally wanted this in 2004-2005 but our parents were to inept too help us out.
