alt Hacker NewsUnder dictatorships, you will be found guilty if you are found with an SD card full of encrypted files.
While the encryption does protect your data, it definitely doesn't protect you. Probably hurts you, as people will start applying iron bars to find out how to uneceypt your data.

Dictatorships don't need proof to beat, detain or kill you though.

As I said, I pray that I never have to live in such a society.
