The great thing about Trump appointing "pro crypto" positions in the USG is that the supposed freedom camp is too busy celebrating their bags being pumped to care about what an administration of natsec goons means for their privacy.

Here's Joni Ernst's take on encryption and the fourth amendment, who will lead the Senate Caucus for Congress' collaboration with Elon Musk's DOGE.

Libertad Carajo alright, you dumb fucking morons.

Stupid question: If the data is encrypted well, wouldn’t it be a non-issue since USG would not be able to access it?

They call it client side scanning – their idea is to scan messages for "illegal content" before they are being sent (i.e. right on your phone, before they are encrypted).

It's proposed in the EU with Chat Control, in the UK with the Online Safety Bill, and proposed in the US with the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) and the EARN IT Act, both of which are cosponsored by Ernst.

It's so important using opensource operating systems and opensource software in general as well as taking care of your own data managing (the cloud is someone else's computer) and data encryption and managing your online identity.
