Well, ISPs could implement a whitelist of communication methods. Maybe all content would have to be signed by a whitelist of apps before it's allowed through the network. Images would have to be signed by the camera app, so no steganography would be possible.
From a business perspective it would be like going back to before the internet, but many of the services we associate with the internet like Facebook, Netflix etc. would survive.
- goodplay 10y agoWhat about using latency or throughput as a signal? What about tunneling data over seemingly normal pictures taken by said camera app? What about switching the "User Available online" indicators at a seemingly natural rate? What about all three at the same time? I assure you, steganography will always be possible. The only think a ban on encryption would do is hurt (badly) society, personal privacy, and those who want to follow the law.
- tormeh 10y agoSure, it would be a bit of a whack-a-mole, but in the end sending concealed messages would become extremely difficult. It's technically impossible to do perfectly, but as we all know, perfect is the enemy of good enough ;)
