It will be used to target certain individuals and “nail” their proverbial “balls to the wall” when they want to ruin your life for not complying.
A us court just convicted people as terrorists and one of the main reasons they cited is that they were using signal.
“This individual circumvented security measures enacted by the united States to keep people and the children™ safe from online threats both foreign and domestic. The individual conspired with multiple other people some of them from other countries, oops we meant foreign adversaries, to destroy or circumvent this framework we had in place”
Only thing I can mainly compare it to is how weed isn’t legal in a lot of places but they usually don’t care, until they suddenly do and your life is fucked.
Think of people like Ken Klippenstein and your Edward Snowdens (who used tails to leak a lot of their illegal spying shit btw which is us made btw where these laws are starting to gain traction the most [yes I see Brazil too])
It will be used to target individuals and destroy their lives through the process.
“Oh also since you’re not using the OS level biometric whatever we enacted this is an illegal machine and we are seizing it. Oh, you had whistleblower reports about government corruption? What government corruption Ken we didn’t find those files but we did find evidence if you being antifa”
And if you think I’m just some paranoid schizophrenic and this could never happen then you haven’t been paying attention.
And if everyone used E2E encryption for their private messaging like everyone who understands the topic has been pushing for decades, signal users wouldn’t stand out
The state cannot enforce this, it still relies on compliance in advance
I agree on everyone should be using E2E Encryption. Its an absolute disgrace that that was even mentioned in the court case at all as a possible link to terrorism.
I disagree that the state cant enforce this at least in a targeted way but, I really hope you are right in the end though.

I guess we will see.
Fair. And it only goes our way if Linux devs take a stand in the first place…I think they will. I hope they will
