This is very poor, as the fundamental concepts of society and interpersonal as we know it require to have private comms on various things, this rational extend from in person to over distance. We have no human capability to even imagine nonprivate world, let alone spy world, as is not human. So fuck RU and FVEY... they idea are not human but maniac. Resist. Do crypto. Do political action for human.
This is gonna be one of the largest litmus tests the world has ever seen, for the human dynamic of tacit consent (compliance, resignation) vs. active non-consent - opposition by conscientious personal action It is one thing for a government to target corporations, which are natural allies of the spy state apparatus since corporations are artificial entities created by the state's fictional statute laws, and another thing altogether for the state to criminalize exercise by individuals of their commonly understood rights to personal and interpersonal behaviour - in this case, communication with one another in private, when two humans so choose to do. If Russians fail to live their rights on this one and criminal penalties prevail over individual humans over some period of time (i.e. not enough Russians live their personal individual rights in conscientious objection to the law being applied to individual humans), then most other countries around the world rapidly follow suit (governments will relish this Russian precedent with glee). Target the corporations - they are fictional entities anyway. But target your humans individually in this way and you ultimately create a people who cower in fear of their own government - and Russians are no stranger to the tyranny of a government seized of the unquestionability of its ideology. Good luck, and live your rights if you have the courage..
