What about this tech-agnostic version: citizens have a right to deprive the unrelated citizens from accessing their communications using any means. Note that this includes E2E encryption, whisper, face-to-face private conversation, rubberhose encryption, noise insertion and steganography all in one.
- feanaro 6y agoI like this "right to deprive" wording and toyed with it myself. Reminds me of the way DMCA anti-circumvention works. Perhaps we could call this the anti-snooping right.
- anticensor 6y agoAnti-snooping would be much more useful than anti-circumvention in fact.

- anticensor 6y agoIt would still be criminal on the grounds of breaking the bodily integrity, which is an infringement of someone else's life and health, which is normally considered more protected than privacy.
- kebman 6y agoI think you underestimate the amounts of rain dance magic lawyers can produce with wording like "using any means." ;)
