Assuming it passes, what are some good alternative ways to communicate securely?

I was thinking a webapp of an open source app such as Element (matrix) is a good candidate. Also converse.js, and Movim (xmpp).

Me being Swedish I totally expect to have one Android phone for my eID app, and one with an open source OS for everything else.

It was good while it lasted, making orders on my phone from anywhere in the world. But now I'll have to go home to get my eID device, which is fine.

Meet up in real life I suppose. This is one of the examples where if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear, but I'm aware this is a broken statement to make because a new government may decide that something that was OK to talk about is now no longer OK to talk about.

When I am elected God-Emperor, I will banish discussions about apple pie recipes, and all those that have been involved with apple pie recipes and discussion thereof will receive a Stern Talking To by the newly formed Agency of Apple Pie Suppression.

A few things people may have to hide that they arguably should be able to, depending on the culture:

- Embarrassing medical conditions

- Minority ethnic heritage

- Being LGBT
