If you really want to use encryption under a state where it's forbidden and communication are monitored you rather want to hide your encrypted messages inside cat pictures and tiktok videos. Because blatant obfuscation might trigger warning and draw attention.

In the end it's not about making encryption technically impossible but illegal, and if you use it you'll be prosecuted.

Me personally, I will use chained encoding because technically and legally that is not encryption. I am fine with drawing attention. If my adversaries wish to spend a gazillian mega-bucks to try to win the arms race of decoding my chained encoding to see my mid-wit comments and pictures of a moose then I am doing a good job. When they change the laws to prevent encoding then we move on to another technique. There are nearly infinite ways to limit communication to a group of people and evade fuzzy scans.

Respectfully, you completely miss the point. You personally, you will still be able to use proper encryption.

It's mainstream platforms who won't be. Those platforms will be mandated to scan their own communications.

There is absolutely no reason to do this weird encoding stuff. Nobody says that it is illegal to encrypt stuff properly.
