22 days agoIt would technically work, yes.
But also, you’re wasting a lot of storage space that way, especially if you do it often. You really only should backup your home directory, it contains all your data. You can simply re-install the rest from the internet.
Short question: how would they enforce that? What if I use some obscure messenger that nobody has ever heard of? What if I simply use
telnet
ornetcat
to send messages to other people?
