I've been thinking about this lately, and it seems that you could use something like a book code. Client and server use existing internet accessible images as the book and then your communication simply references bytes in those images: client requests a URL that encodes the bytes it wants to send, server returns HTML containing the urls of images containing the bytes it wants to send in response (and any extra conte…
Just pass a DVD with white noise when you meet in person. That should keep you in one time pads as long as you want to communicate with someone. All you need is XOR and a bookmark. Of course you need to meet once , if that's not feasible you're going to get more technical.

Part of me hopes you are right, because I don't like seeing Chrome/Google throw it's muscle around. Part of me hopes you are wrong, because I think encryption and security don't need to be opposing forces and MITM isn't required for strong security (though maybe for good GRC and audit).
Key pinning you can't override locally is DRM.

What do you do? You immediately reach out to Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Box, Dropbox, Tumblr, and any other popular platform which has mobile apps. You ask, or down-right demand they implement certificate pinning in their apps so they will fail when middled with the government provided certificate. This will in turn break access to those platforms via mobile apps which will result in very real and direct impac…
Down-right demand? With what authority? It sounds like you're confusing these corporations for governments, as if they had to enforce your human rights..

You are confused. This is exactly what pinning defends against.
Sorry, no: Chrome does not perform pin validation when the certificate chain chains up to a private trust anchor. A key result of this policy is that private trust anchors can be used to proxy (or MITM) connections, even to pinned sites. -- https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/security-faq...

It is already par for the course in the enterprise world (both public and private sector), for difficult to deny political/economic reasons.
Which is quite another thing, after all you are using somebody else network, just as you have every right to hear Adeles new album in your home, but not in mine. Besides these days you can use your own phone and mobile data, at which point you should be safe.
