>iMessage and FaceTime are end-to-end encrypted and work in China. There's different rules for Apple. Does it count as "encrypted" if the keys have been given to the people spying on you?

The point of end-to-end encryption is that Apple doesn't have any keys to give.

How does one use public key cryptography without some kind of key?

I like that idea. After briefly searching for possible discussion/implementation of it I was unable to find any. Do you have any useful keywords or phrases I could use for such searches?

Unfortunately I don't; it's mostly a homebrewed concept after seeing too many arguments justifing outsourcing our everything because of high labor and environmental costs. I don't care if your for or against those types of laws, but if we go through the legislative effort to give up the economical efficiency for the social good and pass those laws, than you damn well better contribute to said social good if you want…

Makes sense to me.
