    I don’t see how we can stop it. If they don’t succeed this year, they will try the next, and if not next, they will try the year after until it works. How do we stop this? We can’t. Its like cancer. You can only slow the process down by being against them. Thats it :/ we all will be surveiled and there is nothing to stop it.

    All we do as privacy advocates is to jump around. If one thing becomes illegal, we jump over to something else that provides privacy once again.

    We are slowly becoming cashless, but new tech arrived and we started with crypto like monero. Once crypto is banned, we find different methods in staying anonymous or private :)

      we depose them. they can’t try again next year if they are not in power. of course that’s easier said. but there is an out that’s historically effective against abuse of power.

      solutions like alternative apps and oses and techniques are always an individualistic bandaid that should be thought of as temporary until they close the loophole.
