> Are they going to outlaw electronics knowledge?

No, but they might ban "bespoke" devices.[0] Maybe you're smart and brave enough to build and maintain your own illegal device, but good luck trying to persuade other people to do the same so that you can communicate with them securely online. Also, the government might force ISPs to block access to devices that don't pass remote attestation checks.

If you criminalize encryption then only criminals will have encryption. If that’s what it takes then I’ll gladly be a criminal.
