I’d like to believe that this means that these three pieces of software actually work and that someone in high office has decided that that is unacceptable.
Paranoid authoritarians really do not like ordinary people having access to secure communications and personal privacy. That might be an avenue they can use to organise and elect someone who isn’t a paranoid authoritarian, and that won’t do.
On the other hand, these pieces of software might already be compromised and this is all an elaborate double-bluff.
In which case it’s time for a few well placed communications over purportedly secure channels that would be guaranteed to generate an authoritarian response. Which they’ll then have to pretend they didn’t read until it’s too late.
I’m talking organising - horrors - peaceful protests. They really don’t like those. They have to use their brains, or someone else’s, in order to find a good excuse to stick the boot in.
full disk encryption and VPNs wont do anything if the OS just starts snitching on you anyways…
Pretty wild to see them this brazen. They really don’t want citizens to have access to encryption of any kind. What’s the tipping point?
Stop spreading FUD.
What do you mean no access to encryption of any kind? That phrase makes zero sense.
Of course they want you to use backdoored encryption.
Ok. Since you have no ability to infer let me be a bit more direct: the government does not want you to have properly functioning encryption ciphers (that is, not tampered with, backdoored) applied to virtual tunnels (whether client, server or firewall level) or disks (virtual or physical) and they are incredibly transparent about it.
Furthermore, one could say we are all under reacting to the current assault on human privacy as a whole, including but not limited to, age verification bills being pushed in multiple countries, ai surveillance, operating system level id verification efforts, backdoors (physical or within software), VPN bans, mobile operating system lockdowns, etc… under blatant authoritarian governments.
To downplay the seriousness of the current state of reality would in itself be disinformation and truly makes me curious as to why you thought about spewing such nonsense in response.
Hahaha. Wosh!
You have zero ability to infer clear sarcasm.
Didn’t go the way you thought yeah?
