Yo, we've been using HTTPS, TLS, SSL, and all sorts of encrypted, forward-secure, decentralized technology for decades. Everyone uses these security measures without ever thinking about it, because it's part of the basic services of the Internet. Just making a Google search on your logged in Google account is encrypted by default. Firefox and Chrome updated within the last few months to show warnings on insecure sites, because secured, encrypted communication and access is the default.I understand, so maybe there are other ways to address this particular issue, like banning encrypted messaging apps from app stores. They will still exist, other places will host them where possible, but it instantly reduces the number of people able and likely to use them, and the increasing prevalence of their use if they are not mainstream. It is just not acceptable for the world to move onto communications that cannot be accessed by authorities where needed, and on this, probably just this, I agree with Amber / Theresa.
You've got to look up more on this topic. I think you just heard something from a nation's leader and said "that sounds right" and went all in with the idea without having a proper counterbalance of research and facts to back up your arguments. Does that sort of falling in line without using independently earned knowledge usually make for strong arguments or positions?
