Now, we have to use encrypted chat for practically everything (one of our services is an XMPP server with encryption). Back then, we didn't worry that someone was "tapping" our phone (old hardwired) or anything like that.
Now, protests are planned with txt messages or other chat systems and of course, cops show up before protesters and declare it and illegal assembly.
Now, you you don't use a device like a phone to pay for things at a gas station or buss fares....
How stupid has the country gotten? Shit is going to hit the fan and so few people will know what to do.
