I’m not sure the rest of the world knows about the plans to make backdoors in encrypted communication mandatory, i. e. outlawing any form of effective encryption. They say it’s against crime but I strongly believe it is mainly about total surveillance, maybe a little bit for censorship.

So we’re gonna have to start using Tor against censorship in the so-called ‘civilised’ world as well.

It’s one of the reasons my next phone will be Android (with a non-spying custom ROM) instead of an iPhone. Although KDE Connect is already surprisingly powerful on the latter given the limitations of the platform.

YouTube could probably theoretically embed the ads in the video itself.
