    I’m saying whatever the state is would. Its why behind the scene the state is always working overtime to secure its communication networks. If you develop something like tor, you’re watched like a hawk. Tor isn’t the network. But it provides some tools for anonymity.

    I remember an interview with one of its devs who said they were constantly stopped at borders and flights and inspect. Any devices they had were taken in the back and returned.

    At one point the dev was put on a no fly list. All attributed to building better anonymity tools.

    Apple and any other company do not matter. Its not like these devices are ham radios

    This wasn’t the dev I remember since it was a male. But here’s another example of it happening
