> We certainly need decentralized systems that cannot be controlled by EU, US, or any government/entity. No. If such a system could work in any meaningful way, it would be already in place. Trying to fight legal frameworks with technology, failed in the past with some notable but hardly repeatable exceptions.

There are countries that force you to download their own "secure" SSL certificate, so they can sniff all traffic. China is the worst and most prominent example. This battle need to be fought on the street, with votes, by raising awareness, etc. If we want to be "free" we need to take-over the political battle, not the tech battle because if we win on that front, most likely won't matter. I don't want to risk jail for using an open source encryption tool.
