To being able to surveil a country's citizens.
These super-anonymous communication technologies are touted time and again to solve the problem of a surveillance state, while they do nothing of the sort. You cannot solve a social problem with technology.
- tambourine_man 3y agoYou think being able to surveil a country's citizens is a feature?
- samtho 3y agoThe point that was trying to be made was that it doesn’t matter how secure and unbeatable something is if a sovereign state wishes to simply criminalize its use. It can then utilize its full power to enact violence upon any S̵u̵b̵j̵e̵c̵t̵ citizen, who is caught using it.
- tambourine_man 3y agoThanks for clearing that up. But if a tool can be devised that no trace of its use can be found, there’s nothing such state can charge you of. This tool clearly wants to be a step in that direction.
