Force all the big platforms to share their encrypted data. Banning end-to-end encryption. It's all very stupid and will never actually catch any bad guys.

I have been running my own matrix server andere cliënt for a while. So if I keep running it and just don't update it, that would suddenly be illegal? Geus it is time to see how my for relay is doing.

No any self hosted isn't on the radar. By big, they mean the centralized giants, i.e. Meta, Google, Telegram, Signal(?) etc.

Originally governments wanted backdoors into encryption protocols, but now they seem to want client side scanning (i.e. scanning messages on your phone before it's encrypted and sent out)
