Wait till they make TOR illegal and force people to mask TOR traffic to look like HTTPS. Then produce a stream of rubbish alongside said HTTPS traffic so as to fool authorities. Lol at them thinking non-profit tech gurus are going to give them cake

You are answering a comment explaining why this is bullshit. "Gurus" are sufficiently rare to have other kinds of surveillance.

For some reason in every bad event there are plenty of people thinking evil is stupid.

What I'm trying to say is said gurus will build something that the masses can use (to the extent of the masses that know what Threema and Briar are).

My third sentence still applies. Do you realize that the situation presented is one with backdoors on every device and criminal responsibility for bypassing\removing those?

Yes, and this will affect everyone. Which is why I'm hopeful that organisations like the EFF, the TOR browser's foundation, Graphene OS and the general Android community comes up with something that will prevent this. I hope this will push for greater efforts in obfuscation of traffic from TOR, I2P, Freenet, Wireguard and the like along with better education amongst the general population.

You could call me naive though, I suppose. Perhaps I expect too much
