    So store your data in a secure location and only access it with devices if your a journalist?

      Isn't it telling that if your immediate thought is to subvert said LAW? That doesn't seem to be serving the people then does it, but the state. The state is supposed to serve its people

        I assume journalists would already do this actually maybe they don't?

        There dosent appear to be any import/export controls on the current internet is there?

        If they say import export control gives them the right to search citizens maybe they should be aware of this giant gapping hole that the internet created 30+ years ago?

        How is the law subverted if one doesn't make all data immediately available?

        I mean, that's what the State tells you to stop uprising, but there has never in history been a state that served the people it governed, it serves the people who govern. It's all just big gangs with weapons, and sometimes one gang takes over another's territory. Everything else is window dressings to prevent other gangs from forming.
