It's evolution! Criminals who use vulnerable chats/voicechats do get caught (more often). Sooner or later the government will breed the criminals who use open source end-to-end encrypted software. What will they do then?


I agree with you in theory. It's an arms race which just makes the software/encryption better. However, governments have a Trump card to this whole arms race. Alot of countries just make encryption illegal.


So then they use encrypted messaging with plausible deniability (eg steganography).


I don't think criminals care about things being illegal.


It's pretty easy to be caught though. The internet is public.
