It is a loaded statement… Which part hurt YOU specifically?

None of the other phones have proper security architecture

Removed by mod

Signal is a stop gap measure on the way to simplex

It did its job of providing privacy of content but meta data a d KYCd phones was a honeypot. Glowies got their relationship heat maps which is really all they wanted.

Once they need content, they will brick your end point with million zero day back doors caked onto everything.

Pegasus cellebrite etc is now used against normal targets.

5 years ago you would have to be a national security concern for such royal treament

You are posting on a public fora… What sort of privacy are you expecting?

Sure…

different people act differently but that move by signal deff had a cooling effect on signal adoption. as if on purpose.

an old laptop if you have one first, then one of them intel nucs. intel is better a trancoding or some such thing.

They still classify traffic at the very least. Watching NetFlix, playing games, browsing web etc.

With VPN they have to us e a lot of compute to figure out what is going in the tunnel.

Plus, they can’t figure out that you are downloading Linux iSO 🐸

I am talking about ISP selling your traffic for marketing data.

You are talking about state actor hunting you down.

Different threat model.

You are not hiding from NSA within US or other westoid regimes.

They have legal right to do whatever they want. An individual has no chance

They have to come around it themselves.

I just plant seed, they come back once they are ready to have the adult discussion.

it took years to move my friends into privacy focused product. with each new fiasco one or two would reach out.

correct… i am sure there is some difference between sim and esim but the real issue is connecting to cell network. it is designed to spy on you.

That’s just the pork of the job…

They are the boot of the regime first and foremost.

Not serious proposal at this point but you can at least turn off the cell nework when home etc.

it is about harm reduction just like drug use.

tellling a normie to quit using spyware… might as well call his mother a whore while at it.

ISP don’t even pretend not to sell your shit anymore…

that’s really the only real benefit to using VPN, deny that parasite profit while shifting trust to another corpo. at least VPNs pretend to not sell your data. i mean some do it anyway

fedi is the public commons, treat it as such.

Much respect for Luis on his other work but yeah, something funky here

that’s not what that comment said, learn to read.

they pretty much always collaborate with the police

a corporation is a legal extension of the state, hence why all of them will always collaborate when ordered by the courts or otherwise required by law.

some will even collaborate when they are not required by law such amazon ring providing pigs access for no reason, facebook censoring content per request of US or Israel… needless bullshit but hey it helps get government contracts ;)

bottom line, expecting corpo to do anything for you for 5 bucks a month is naive, at best they should not do it for no reason and they should not sell your data.

but even that is a tall order for these parasites.
