It's extraordinarily trivial for the Feds to then outlaw the use of encryption (in any given convenient manner) if it were to ever become a problem. Or, eg simply require that all encrypted data be unencrypted upon request by any law enforcement (or else 20 years in prison).

Encryption solves absolutely nothing unless you're physically outside of the US.

The only way to deal with what's happening is to peacefully dismantle the monster in DC through voting (good luck of course). You can't have a government the size of the US, without it becoming totalitarian and destroying civil liberties - there's nothing else for something that big to do.

Client-side encryption solves everything until they make it illegal, which is a very big and very clear step that they have not made. And if you're not encrypting it yourself, you shouldn't consider it encrypted, period.
