In any case, the fact that governments around all the world push these laws despite the fact that they are bad for individual security (and they know this) shows that this is about protecting the "security" of the ruling class from the class of ordinary people.

  They foresee instability going ahead so they are already taking measures to curb all dissent.

"We should sanction non-approved messaging services because they are open to abuse by foreign governments." Sure. What about USA putting backdoors into things and the backdoors being used by said foreign governmemts? What a terrible argument.
