What things that are legal today could become illegal in 50 years?

Literally anything given that time period

Encryption. For the poors, that is.
It still sounds so insane. Imagine it being illegal for us two to share some public keys. It's like banning fundamental maths
-
Dissent against the government.
Already illegal here in the uk to protest climate change.

"The year is 2075. Yesterday was the day the last legal thing became illegal. And what was the last legal thing, you ask? The answer is obvious in retrospect. It was law itself."

Poors will be priced out by insurance companies. A large auto manufacturer, probably Tesla will buy one of the enormous insurers and start by offering lower rates for self-driving. Many will sign up and the standard startup playbook will follow. Personal vehicles will become luxury items and then you will be required to subscribe.
I wonder what the poor right will say when they don't own their car anymore?maybe they will have f350 self-driving trucks too and it'll be ok.
I'm hesitant to call what they are doing owning anyway, re: their trucks. Most people who drive those idiotic money pits are so far underwater on their loans I only have pity for them. I know people who have taken out 8 year loans on 70-80 thousand dollar trucks. Loans so high in interest and so long that they probably will never pay it off - to me the bank owns it 100%. I think most of them will gladly hand over their ownership if they can still feel "manly" by pretending their huge truck makes up for their own masculinity issues.

I'm honestly surprised we haven't seen an assassination by drone from a nonstate actor yet. It's cheap, would subvert many of the protections aimed at stopping shooters, and security likely wouldn't react in time or have the equipment to effectively stop it.
We don't have the clearance.

Well okay then, use steganography.
Secure Space Encryptor (https://paranoiaworks.mobi/) is one that I know and they have source code published, although I personally don't understand coding so I can't guarantee how secure it is, but its been out for like a decade and I haven't heard anything bad about it, and its on F-Droid.
They won't know you are secretly sending an encoded "ATTACK AT DAWN" message hidden inside the cute cat photo. (I mean unless they just shut down the entire communications infrastructure and even ban mailing stuff, which is unfeasible because of the economy)
They'll use ai to do pattern matches on available data to assassinate leaders of dissent or those capable of organizing resistance. Knowledge of encryption is uncommon enough of a population to be an acceptable cost.

Itās insane how much trucks have skyrocketed in price! My wifeās job occasionally needs a truck so we had considered one as our second vehicle years ago and ended up figuring it was cheaper to own a car counting total cost of ownership unless we used the bed/hitch more than 3 times a week and that was at 40-50kā¦ itās like theyāre allergic to money.

In the US: Not wholly illegal but I predict erosion of the 4th amendment under the guise of keeping the country safe. I predict the definition of a "reasonable" search and seizure will expand.
Across the world: as someone else mentioned, encryption is going to start getting a lot more attention as well.
