You make the important point below that secrecy of private communication is a civil right. To my mind that stands true for physical mail and telephone calls which have been designed to be private media. The internet as experienced by most people falls in a different category being an open and public forum which did not have that same expectation of privacy from the outset. The encrypted messaging came as an afterthought and has been used to facilitate a lot of criminality.

Just my opinion, which I know will be deeply unpopular, but I think it is important to make the differentiation.

@SunshineGirl The internet is just a mean of communication, the public forum aspect of it is only a part, private messaging is another one, just as important if not more.

It's unconstitutional for virtually every European government to intercept your correspondence without a warrant, regardless of the mean used. Encryption only guarantees that you don't have to blind trust that your privacy is respected, if someone's got a problem with encryption and want you to blind trust them, chances are they don't want you to have privacy.

You should come live in Singapore, I just assume the gov is trawling through all the nudes I post here. We have zero expectation that any vpn is secure as they're in tight with some very secretive Israeli cypto units

Wow.

Agreed, but Danish babes are hot and we get to set this guy adrift in shark-infested waters covered in "chum".

@jshm2 Secrecy of private communication is actually a right per most of Europe's constitutions, maybe even the Danish one.

@jshm2 What do VPNs gave to do about this? This is strictly about your govt legally having access without a warrant to your personal correspondence.

What could go wrong? Ask east Germany
