    You can always use something like PGP to encrypt your communication.

      True, sadly not many people show up for my key signing parties, even if I serve three kinds of chips.

      Only if you trust the device your decrypting on. Wouldn’t trust windows or Mac with information that could put me in jail.

          Sorry, i don’t find it anymore in all the white noise about france being anti encryption. It was about a group of teens being detained on the grounds of mere suspection for using and promoting encrypted messaging, online privacy, using tor and so on, painting that fact as a crime.
