No. It‘s the opposite of a new world order.

It‘s the old order doing everything to preserve its power.

This is why I'm worried about Signal. Signal is designed as a central service, which means its easy to block/kill. If similar laws are brought to the country Signal operates from then it could be shutdown. Centralized applications are easy to monetize and easy to kill.

Alternatives that aren’t so obscure you can’t get your family/friends to switch?

SimpleX is the new thing to watch imo. Even protects your metadata while still feeling modern and compfortable

[–] elvis_depresley@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

how can you even prove that it’s something encrypted and not random text?

I’m not sure how you can “ban encryption” lol
