Signal will withdraw from Sweden if encryption-busting laws take effect

To be pedantic, AFAIK there's no evidence Pythagoras himself had anything to do with the censure of the discovery of irrational numbers. The common story has to do with his later followers, and could well be more fiction than fact in any case.
Talking about creepy numbers, the ones that always fucked with me are uncomputable numbers. That shit's wack, yo

It's not about police, it's about power not being checked by at least getting a legal order.

These power hungry tyrants just can't STAND the idea of normal humans being able to communicate without their prying eyes spying on us. They claim this is for the purpose of protecting the public. This is plainly not true, as crime will occur regardless. They cannot eliminate it despite their outrageous claims, nor do they actually want to. E2EE comms will be used to plan crime sometimes. Sorry, not sorry. Privacy is worth that cost. I'll die on that hill.

Encryption on Ham Radio / GMRS Radio is illegal in many jurisdictions...
If it weren't for stuff like banking and e-commerce, encryption on the internet would've probably be illegal.
-
I'll die there right with you.
Privacy is non-negotiable for me, and I'll get violent about it if I have to. That's my line in the sand. I'll jump through hoops if I have to, but I'm not complying with laws that strip away my privacy.
In fact, I'm looking to host Tor nodes to help out. Screw this surveillance BS, I'll use cryptography if I want to.

Topology is wack.
Keep away from lattices tho.
-
I already do that, but that's more because I don't have Google Play Services and the auto-updating "side loaded" app works better than the F-Droid one.

Why do people keep trying to do this? The fact is, you can't beat good encryption and you can't beat the Internet.
As soon as a country outlaws an app like this, users will simply not be able to download it "officially". They'll have to set up an Internet proxy or vpn, and then download it... It may take an extra 10 minutes to install.
They can't block this... So why try?

"Crime was always with us, he reasoned, and therefore, if you were going to have crime, it at least should be organised crime."

The EU would be perfect if it wasn’t for the gross attempts of surveillance on the people.

I wish real-life tyrants were more like Vetinari.

You are underestimating how many people will give up at the slightest inconvenience.
I can tell you, when vigorously enforced, you can get the vast majority of a population to play within your walled garden (China, as an example).
Sweden however, yeah, unless they wanna go full internet firewall, not sure exactly how they plan on enforcing this.

It's simpler. There is such a category of people as idiots , fools , bottle caps in a knife drawer.
The subtle art of understanding what others think by what others voluntarily say eludes them.
But they think that if they spy after what others say not to them, they'll somehow know all the secrets.
People who can't interpret what's adjusted for them specifically think they'll be able to interpret what isn't.
I think all the creeping attempts for surveillance are done by such people.
Because otherwise they wouldn't need them. Things publicly expressed and local trojans and, if need be, search by legal order.

Reactionaries going to take all the homotopies and homologies from my cold dead hands.
