Russia seems to be executing CCP’s playbook. They even trying to push everyone to their version of WeChat, which is called Max.

Perhaps they could use an encryption program that uses the sanctioned app as the transport layer. Like how people used to use PGP with email.

That might satisfy message-privacy and connectivity, but it seems it'd be vulnerable when it comes to identity-privacy and detection.

I suppose you could use an LLM on each end to write superficially plausible messages and use ~sten~ steganography, although then there's still the problem of "Weird, this user types at 500WPM without sleeping."

stenography

I think you mean steganography[0]. Stenography is shorthand, used for transcription.

That'll eventually get detected and put a massive target on the back of anybody dumb enough to use it. Sorry to burst your bubble.

oh cool, I didn't know hbo had a Russian messaging service
