    I’m curious if only particular apps/software is going to be monitored this way? I mean, if I encrypt outside a messaging app like Signal or outside mail, using OTP, OpenPGP, AES-256or or something similar, or using a combination of VPN, Tor and Cryptpad för creating messages, meaning that when the message is entered into the monitored app, it is already encrypted?

      That’s exactly why a law like this wouldn’t make sense, even if you don’t care about privacy.

      To enforce a ban of encrypted messaging, any software capable of encryption would have to be banned. Next step almost every existing operating system would have to be banned as well.
