I don't know how the government will be able to effectively ban E2EE and honestly I want to see them try
87100%? Impossible. But they can effectively ban it.
Pass a law that makes any US company, or company doing business in the US, not allowed to host E2EE-enabled apps. This now bans them from the App Store and Play Store. 99% of users won't find or choose to side-load for android users. Then they can make E2EE actually illegal to distribute in the US. They'll almost never bother going after individuals, but this effectively makes hosting a US-based website unable to distribute E2EE programs. So people will need to use foreign sites. Which the US can force ISPs to block via a whack-a-mole on individual sites.
This isn't very likely, but hell Congress was decently close to banning TikTok for no real reason so who knows?

Montana's GOP didn't get the memo that it's a stupid idea.

its like banning math
44Tories are just trying to kick up as much shit as possible before they're kicked out so they can blame the next party for the fallout.
21Seems like something politicians who have not touched a computer would try to pass
11You really think things will be different if you're under a different colored heel? 🤣

What's cloudflare done?
84Cloudflare has human checks before you can access some sites. Some apps and screenreaders no longer work with those sites.
90They're all uppity that to use cloudflare proxy they have to terminate the ssl connection there. So technically cloudflare can sniff all the traffic. But that's kind of the point of WAFs and Reverse Proxies.
I would argue that the sheer amount of data throughput that Cloudflare has, you'd have to really be on a list to be monitored... and they certainly cannot just log all data willy nilly.
68No high-profile cases yet, but some people are already concerned: https://crimeflare.eu.org/
19Doesn't load, maybe they need Cloudflare lol (i'm joking don't send me to internet hell) Wayback doesn't seem to work with it either
31I might be missing something but the document seems to be comparing Cloudflare to the great firewall of China and calling them criminal because of things they could potentially do?
9Only works on http, and just redirects to https://0xacab.org/dCF/deCloudflare/-/blob/master/README.md
7Site appears to be down. What is this for?

Guess I'll just have to touch grass.
Google, try pulling data from me being at the park when my phone gets left at home!

What about a fully encrypted peer to peer web?
31Let's go Veilid!
30Yeah I cheer on this one!
On the other hand I got a different protocol (& implementation up and running) that can be used right away. It's like IPFS but easy to "install" (a double click and a port forward is all that's needed), you are also in control of your data and of course you can change the data without changing the link.
Don't get me wrong, IPFS paved the road. But today we have better ways to do things.

Like freenet?
7Close, but with the added possibility to change the data (like a website/blog/chat) and not only have static data.
So on this protocol, you can have a website with a link to my website, who has a link to yours. Maybe that doesn't sound crazy cool :-) but filecoin, IPFS etc just does not have that functionality (with them you have a key/link, and it is locked to 1 data. Fix a typo in your text and you have to redistribute a new key/link on the old web or similar, it's totally static), and for me it's a must if you want to provide a functioning "new web".
