I'm an American, and our politicians are starting to discuss forcibly institutionalizing all trans people. living my days out in a padded cell is not my idea of liberty, thank you. I'm getting out of here.
Give me your passport. I want in.

There is already a market for secure phones used by organized crime, this will only intensify the demand (plus another opportunity for to infiltrate them like has also happened before)
As a devil's advocate, there are also criminal groups, right now, that do actual crime, that operate on discord. 99% of criminals likely don't have enough knowledge to maintain proper opsec, so spying on chats could in principle help here. On the other hand, there are also criminal groups, right now, that do actual crime, that operate on discord. Going after them would be trivial in comparison, and yet we introduce e…
Meaning, chat control might pressure criminals. For a bit. Until they wisen up and use more secure protocols and end points.
Which, not only exist, but are very easy to use and wide spread.

I'm so sorry this is happening to you and the rest of the community. And I don't get why they pick on the trans community so much. Apart from not aligning with their personal religious views, what else has a trans person ever done to a cis one? Most trans people I know are super respectful especially because they know what it's like to deal with bigotry every day. I mean when they go after drug gangs, at least there'…
at least that's my take.

Then they are faced with the cognitive dissonance that either:
1. the authorities are good and correct
2. or the authorities have been evil and horribly wrong the whole time with your support which makes you complicit.
And no one wants to think of themselves as being complicit in evil. So mental effort is expended to convince themselves it must be 1.
Most people have heard of this quote: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing".
But I prefer it stated this way:
"The standard you walk past is the standard you accept"
this is just bananas crazy. so many lives will be ruined by false positives. the chilling effect will be like an Arctic snowstorm. and any actual groomers will find ways to disable it.
What I don't understand is, why don't the authorities think the actual bad guys will avoid the surveillance?
