I have no plan in going to Nepal. However, let’s say I get signal in one country where its allowed, and then I travel to Nepal where its banned. What would be my struggles? I can still use signal, right? Its just that I won’t be able to download it from Nepal via google play store (which I’m not using anyway). Signal can still give away the APK file but would assume Nepal censors their website at the end of the day. Could be bypassed via VPN though, if its still legal in the country of course (probably not).

That’s awesome. If I have the choice to be careful, why not take that option? Thank you! <3

I don’t see how we can stop it. If they don’t succeed this year, they will try the next, and if not next, they will try the year after until it works. How do we stop this? We can’t. Its like cancer. You can only slow the process down by being against them. Thats it :/ we all will be surveiled and there is nothing to stop it.

All we do as privacy advocates is to jump around. If one thing becomes illegal, we jump over to something else that provides privacy once again.

We are slowly becoming cashless, but new tech arrived and we started with crypto like monero. Once crypto is banned, we find different methods in staying anonymous or private :)

Some phones, even if they are turned off, still send telemetry data.

I use GrapheneOS and for safety reasons, when I know I won’t get a call, or if I have to travel somewhere discreet, I’ll use one :P Works well for me!
