Maybe what we need is an "encrypted messaging system" generator.
If there is an infinite supply of encrypted channels, controlling them all becomes literally impossible.
- judge2020 7y agoI think you're describing PGP. Other than some platforms having character limits, you can run PGP over any text format as long as both clients (or humans) know what to do with the encrypted messages. A system that handled things like performing the encryption and decryption of messages over any platform would be interesting, the only pushback you would get from an authoritarian government is them telling providers to "block all pgp/encrypted comms on your platform" and/or the platform actively attempting to block your client's access to the API.
- elif 7y agoWhat I mean is not generating the encryption layer, but generating the transport layer. For instance, discovering and negotiating various publically available http or irc or jabber etc. nodes, and coordinating around their unavailability.
