Between this and Google locking down Android, one day the only way to get secure communications will be to buy Huawei etc. Thank God for China, bastion of free speech.

I know HN takes a dim view on them, but that post was a joke. Of _course_ China isn't a bastion of free speech, that is why the joke is funny.

I think HN has a higher than average number of people who are unable to detect irony or sarcasm.

In a few decades the only uncensored communication possible will be using LoRa mesh networks smuggled into the west illegally by some human rights activists. Some people will always find a way to organize against our government's latest atrocities and genocides no matter how oppressive it is yet to become.
