I think there is a point to this. I’m not saying I’m a fan. But the reality is that it is too simple to communicate secretly, and the government has an interest in protecting its citizens. This is true in many aspects. (Health, technology, electronics, traffic)

Btw. The https communication comparison does not hold, there is always a third party that can read what you say. E2E chats are effectively communication where evidence is instantly destroyed.

Want to have a private communication, I think offline is the right approach.

I agree that it sucks, but it’s probably not about you. It’s about nefarious people that use this as an uber advantage.

If I use a third party CA this is correct. But what third party can read communications over HTTPS between a client and a server I control with a self signed SSL cert?

Not even correct for a third party CA (unless they MITM you).
