alt Hacker NewsI'm not condoning this but what would you suggest they should be doing to keep people safe?
I'm fairly sure whatever they do you'd likely be complaining about it. Glad to be wrong though.

They're afraid of people communicating. That's not a safety thing.
and in this argument we pre-suppose that loss of privacy equates to an increase in safety, right?
How is private messaging causing people to become unsafe? If you're saying privacy = unsafe environment, then your right to privacy is meaningless.
Are you suggesting that taking down an application is making people safe?
People are making independent communication networks using reticulum, LORA devices and hold tight - unregistered radio transmitters.
You can't seriously argue trying to take down ONE app is acting in the interests of national security?
Very similar argument to those who want to ban encryption.
Why do you need to encrypt your network traffic with ssl, is you have nothing to hide....
