Many options: - block access ala GFW, ensuring that most people will have difficulty accessing it or using it - block access to any data you cannot decrypt or from an endpoint you cannot backdoor - go after creators and ensure some kind of backdoor is inherent to the project - shut down projects by exerting pressure on developers - run some kind of propaganda campaign on the evils of using unsanctioned software (supporting terrorism etc.) - do nothing, knowing that most users will avoid using anything that isn't one of the major web platforms
