in reply to Tuta • • •Because innocent people have nothing to hide, right?
The 1930s taught us that sometimes innocent people (like Jews, gays, trans) do have something to hide.

If ever they realise this fact, they might ban the Internet on whole.

in reply to Tuta • • •I don't think India is the first democracy to do that. In the late 90s, encryption in general was illegal in France (messengers weren't really a thing back then). However, that law was revoked later (I think it was in 1999).
Nonetheless, a group of left wing activists were indicted last year with the argument that the use of encrypted communication made them suspects.
