    What I’m trying to say is said gurus will build something that the masses can use (to the extent of the masses that know what Threema and Briar are).

      My third sentence still applies. Do you realize that the situation presented is one with backdoors on every device and criminal responsibility for bypassing\removing those?

        Yes, and this will affect everyone. Which is why I’m hopeful that organisations like the EFF, the TOR browser’s foundation, Graphene OS and the general Android community comes up with something that will prevent this. I hope this will push for greater efforts in obfuscation of traffic from TOR, I2P, Freenet, Wireguard and the like along with better education amongst the general population.

        You could call me naive though, I suppose. Perhaps I expect too much

          Police checks your phone and finds the banned piece of software.

          Or your ISP detects traffic from something which is not reported by the backdoor on your phone.

          There are so many ways.

          There is no technological solution to a power problem. Power solutions to power problems include riots, revolutions, assassinations …

            Oh, so TOR, Graphene OS and Signal will be banned then? We’re going towards a dystopia where the police control which apps you can and can’t install?

            Yeah I see your point
