I wonder how bad surveillance and control of US residential Internet connections will get in the new administration. Thankfully we now have HTTPS damn near everywhere, but I suppose if they went full totalitarian, they could get ISPs to require us all to use state-supplied root certs so they can decrypt our traffic. And they could still get clues from DNS and SNI.

I guess it's way easier to recruit snitches among our followers and fediverse instance admins. So do we have to shut up on here?

@matt I'm a comparatively small fish on the fediverse, but if I do fall out with my instance, I think #GoToSocial is mature enough to host what I want to do.

@cachondo @matt I'm doing my own thing because I didn't want the hastle of identifying the best home at the time then perhaps moving if required. Even then though how much of this is out of our control? I could fall out with the VPS provider or my broadband/mobile connection could be removed if I wasn't complying. I've often wondered how easy it would be to set up a state sponsered SSL intercepting proxy especially given the relatively few OS developers out there.
