    The real offenders (except for some stupid rookies) move to the dark web and won’t touch the official apps while politicians use this power to scan for political and environmental activists, opponents and critics.

      I said the same to a coworker this week. If i were to be part or manage an illegal ring like csam, id make my own protocol/app that just uses encryption. Youre already doing illegal shit, go one further so you dont get caught

        No it will be. Having your own XMPP/IRC server doesn’t prevent the NSA from spying on your metadata, and that’s exactly what will happen. It’s just that TOR and I2P will likely see an increase in traffic
