Re "Messages will be send, regardless of the difficulties you put in the way."
Its nice to create and read plain text messages on a smart phone.
Interesting people will soon understand the difference between privacy and anonymity.
The communication was seen between person A and B. Both accounts are been watched by a gov. No more anonymity
The hardware is sent some gov malware or gets a code to start police storage.
That will remove any privacy.
Person A creates a nice long message in plain text and then has a trusted app create a secure code. Person A send the very secure and totally trusted encrypted message to person B.
The message person A has created is captured before any encryption.
Person B gets the secure message from person A. The app decrypts the message and person B reads the text.
The message is captured after decryption.
Both person A and B have had their smart phones altered. All messages are collected from both. Any app to keep messages encrypted is junk thanks to how encryption and decryption is done by the OS and app.

Re Besides, what are they going to do about it?
The really good news now is that a lot of shared mil/gov/police and private sector databases exist. All kinds of nations and some unexpected nations support the USA in finding criminals and interesting people.
So many images are captured around the world by all kinds of groups and given back to US law enforcement.
Social media is packed with interesting people supporting banned groups trying to enter or exit the USA.
The more a "normal" person tires to hide by not having any smart phone on them at the time, the more interesting they are.
Their social media use is gov/mil searchable but they lie and claim to have not much tech, don't use much tech, ever?
Investigations started long before a person arrives. In the past it was what people tried to sneak in terms of drug or images.
So a lot of freedom was given to search everything and ask questions.
Now people want to fund, join and be seen with banned groups and their leadership. Hoping to hide the travel destination and images online far away from any direct search.
The replacement smart phone just for entering the USA can be very telling as a device. How it was paid for, any use, what account was set up, the number used, any calls, what brand? Any serial or other numbers that would show some group has been handing out safe phones/accounts as cover for return to the USA?
Interesting people are often not that smart and have a larger social media history or get given hardware by others who think they know what is been looked for.
Mistakes are made, people get sloppy just once or reuse details that are already on file. GPS or just testing the camera in some unexpected nation is a classic error.
Have to know how the new phone works to show its really been used.
The first and only image packed with metadata was deleted but was it really? That first network connection was in what nation?
Re "prosecute Open Source programmers and security experts for publishing"
A Russian company publishes a good quality security report.
Could a company in the US use that data directly to secure their networks more quickly?
Have to wait for another nation to republish that information and then act on that much later?
Or would a US company have to detect the same security issue on their own and then rediscover what was in public?
No direct use of any Russian security information or quoting the direct results of a first hop of Russian information?
How many hops from Russia until information is just information again?
Comments on any Russian related product, network, service, research, finding or science is still directly "supporting" Russia in some way?
Security research around the world would slow as lawyers get invited in to help. Spam and malware would be able to spread in the legal confusion.
Experts have to stay in the US or Russia or avoid the USA and Russia so they can keep working around the world on security matters?

Re "Can't tell if serious "
Great.
Mistakes and poor grammar protect against been considered as having any social influence.
A level of good grammar, an expensive education, good spelling, project names are often topics for later human review.
People working for the police and security service also look for interesting people who can influence a lot of people on social media with one comment thats well written, articulate and could show some public relations effort. The sort of education they had.
Does/did that person work for the mil/police/gov and why are they online? The first hint of a whistleblower? A book or book chapter could be next.
In many nations its much safer to have some doubt over occupation, education, use of grammar, skills when commenting on line.
People trying to discover a person who has social influence will then LOL and quickly move onto other comments that are too perfect or that have an insider quality.
Re "Cheaper to buy a burner phone at the new location than attempt to clean a spy ridden one."
The detection rate would be even more easy then.
Normal people have a smart phone with history. Normal people show what is on their phone and the details go back years in an average and normal way.
A person with no phone in 2017 is interesting.
A wealthy person with a new phone with no contacts or history?
What happened to their old phone? Lost? Stolen? Why not recover all data back into the replacement? Or add some of the data?
East Germany tried to place its young graduates into West Germany. So they would advance up in the West German gov/mil/private sector and would spy over decades.
To do so they would have to interact with some local government in West Germany.
Average West Germans made some counter culture comments https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Clothing, hair styles was often very different to past German generations. Some loud and direct political comments to the government while getting their papers worked on was expected.
Then along comes a nice person with a good hair cut, nice clothing and very correct and different attitude. They stood out in a large group as East Germany never fully understood West German culture at that time. Their "spy" looked like special forces with a distinctive hair cut, they had all their papers ready and a good attitude when talking. Guess who was pulled out of the line for further questions every time?
Its the same with digital devices in 2017. Having nothing or a new empty smart phone stands out in a world of normal people with years of digital history per device.
AC every bag, device and its storage has been open to search.
People have returned to the USA with material that results in further investigation on their camera SD cards or on the past film.
Digital devices can now hold many images or video files.
Now that same interesting data is been uploaded to cloud services.
Metadata could show gps locations in nations of interest to the USA not covered by any visa or digital passport entry/exit records.
Thats why images and modern files with metadata are of so much interest. They show faces, gps location, dates and names of banned groups.
Just a "holiday" is often a meeting with banned groups. Using the cloud to hide such meetings from detection is not good for investigators.
If you entering the USA again anything you have done to support banned groups is open to question.
Very important political funding and membership questions are asked.
Why should a person be able to hide their support during a holiday using a cloud product? Re enter the USA and remain undetected due to the cloud loophole?
That is why social media access is so vital. The accounts often show funding of, support for and membership in banned organisations and groups.
That a person of interest traveled into a third nation outside their holiday visa to support and fund a banned group.
Images of the person with banners and party slogans and party members might exist on social media.
Would any normal gov accept a request by a citizen to not open a bag when entering to their own nation?
Not to look digital images on a camera card?
Why would the "cloud" now get to hide support for banned groups and funding of banned groups?
Or get to hide gps in images on a cloud service that showed a persons travel into nations that would allow for further questions?
Or contacts with or emails from a banned groups and individuals of interest?
Supporting, been a member of banned groups or funding banned groups is not legal and any information on such efforts should be open to investigation on any digital product.
Consider how this would be done in a fictional movie or fictional book.
Don't go looking for workers in public.
All the risks of been found "looking" up data or not hiring a person with no skills is avoided with one very old traditional method.
Go to the area in your company that needs a new worker. Talk to some trusted workers after work about needing new staff.
Someone will recall a person who they know or when to private school with or they trust as a friend of a friend.
That person might be looking for a job or be wanting to change jobs. Better pay, a nicer part of the city, better hours would ensure the offer was accepted.
A conversation is held and a few questions asked. After the paperwork is looked over the company has a new team member.
The company avoids total random strangers who might be talking to the gov, the mil, police or press about past issues in the company.
Nothing in the company is risked by some new stranger with an unknown history or political activist background.
If the company has a lot of gov and mil contracts they might have to prove they looked all over the nation and have to prove they looked at all interviews equally.
How to avoid having to hire just anyone because a gov/mil contract demands not to consider merit and qualifications?
A security clearance can still help. Can your selected person pass a security clearance? They have grand parents with no political problems? Parents with no political or criminal problems? Good school teachers that can be interviewed? No mil/gov/political protest issues at university?
That will help create a much shorter list of people who can be considered. One candidate will always test and interview much better on the day.
A good, trusted, productive worker is found and the company secrets are safe.
Need language services or need to show diversity? Find another nation that has an office and offer the locals jobs. Your logo and brand surround by 100% culture.

Re "the world will continue following the laws of physics."
SJW want access to good paying science jobs for decades to try and create a SJW AI.
The SJW will sort the history books so the their AI will only get to read from approved safe texts.
A lot of authors and most of history will have to be hidden from the AI.
SJW approved authors will get to meet the AI and read their approved books to the AI. So the AI can see the author and listen to the words.
Only good news from select broadcasters will be edited for any visual material. Nothing about crime and who is wanted for crime.
The AI will be introduced to a lot of other SJW on staff as it learns for years.
SJW will keep any facts about crime, poverty, education, social advancement away from the AI.

Will a city still allow a larger car with just one person? That might result in some congestion pricing and a luxury tax given it only has one occupant.
Want to be driven into the city?
Select from a city approved van or car service that will do the driving. It will pick up the user who sent an app request at a location.
Along the way 5 or more random strangers will be collected to ensure the car or van is always been used and no seat is empty.
Re "improvement for cyclists"
Wait for a bike registration and a new luxury bike tax too. For the upkeep of the parks and new bike services the city had to support.
As a consumer a person still have the right to consider who they are buying from and what they are buying.
Software can be added to show or block mic or cam access.
That returns total control back to the user who owns the hardware.
In the 21st century some great software can be installed that can show OS and software access to hardware like a mic or cam in real time.
An informed user can then select to allow or find out more information on why an app needs the mic on all the time.
When a big brand wants DRM, movie and TV show streaming for "free" all over the USA?
They want net neutrality so they don't have to pay for networks or share in billions of profits of new media content with networks.
Any creative "new startup" will just not be easy to find in a search due to political or content issues.
Net neutrality is not the freedom to start a new US search engine or talk about politics.
Net neutrality is just a DRM movie or series getting to some user with no network costs.
Re "No backdoors" is a nice way of saying any government gets a copy of all the crypto keys.

The "No backdoors" is getting traction in the free West too.
It keeps encryption that protects the message but allows the gov and SJW to see every message a user sends or gets.

Japan was offering a lower cost product, offered good support and other nations liked what was been exported for the price.
A super computer from Japan was just super enough for most nations at the price.
