The EU Regulation to Prevent and Combat Child Sexual Abuse, first published in May 2022, has become the "most criticized law of all time". Here's how to stop it now!
I am on linux mint on my desktop snd rarely used laptop. All what is left is my phone.
It is a Samsung s23… with no graphene OS and I got a fucking year before paying it all off. My next phone MUST be degoogled. I need new emails that aren’t linked to my Google account in any shape or form, and I only use Gmail through my desktop when needed.
Moto G 5G 2024 (anywhere from $140 to $200 USD) is the cheapest phone I’ve found so far that supposedly allows bootloader unlocking. But you’ll need to request unlock codes from Motorola. Supported by Lineage OS and CalyxOS (Calyx has temporarily paused development)
Nothing phone 1 & 2 and CMF 2 also has custom rom support, but its hard to find them now adays, and the 3 and newer doesn’t seem to have custom roms bult for them yet.
That was my old phone… before a single drop of water destroyed it (no fucking joke!) Otherwise I would have transition to graphene OS or other more private platforms.
The problem with that solution is that if like 1% of the people use encryption, the use of encryption in itself suggests that the individual is doing something that warrants investigation.
Someone needs to make a pocket encryption computer. We type the message in this device, encrypt, then display the ciphertext on screen, the use the phone and OCR it then send. Voila, try backdoor this!
Can we all just use our own ciphers / code words? Kinda tired of all these backdooring shenanigans.
Don’t reinvent the wheel when strong encryption already exists. But if this passes, it will be up to each individual user to secure themselves.
Encryption is irrelevant if they have keyloggers logging every keystroke before it is even encrypted.

hmmm, there’s also PGP. And Conversation is still able to use it.
