I&#x27;m not sure what you&#x27;re trying to say. That it may not be attempted? The step from walled gardens to demanding that the the gatekeeper keeps out certain crypto apps is small. Especially if they start with a small blacklist and contiously expand it. Similar to domain blocking (first child porn, then piracy, then leak sites...)<p>Mandating that they (or carriers) should not turn a blind eye because terrorists&#x2F;think of the children is not a big leap either, because ostensibly rooting is a security flaw anyway.<p>That way only apps compliant with government regulation (read: backdoored) would run on most devices.<p>Sure, a small percentage of people might still find their way around it. But should we only care about the most tech-savy while leaving everyone else exposed to a snooping government?
