1 year agoI believe this is the plan for most of them. I know Signal messenger has said as much and Im sure Telegram and even Whatsapp (lol at the idea of whatsapp being secure) wont stick around either. Seems like the easiest way to solve this problem. The downside is, once this passes the USA and other countries are bound to follow suit. Especially Australia’s spying ass, if they havent passed something like this already.
It will not be any better by then. In fact it will probably worse when they do have a solid understanding of the internet and the infastructure behind it they will be able to use it to our disadvantage even more than they already are.
