Lol.
US 2010: “We’ve created and incentivised this gigantic drag net of information based on insecure protocols, private partnership deals, FISA court orders, and outright black budget illegality”
US 2024: “Pweeze use encrypted communication (that we have vendor relations with or that we have backdoors in or that we built as a honey pot) because China can see what’s happening in the drag net and they can leverage that information to compromise our idiot elites.”

The same FBI that keeps telling Congress end to end encryption needs to have legally mandated back doors in it?
“our backdoors, not theirs”
(of course, they always fail to acknowledge the simple fact that “ours” becomes “everybody’s”)
And then there is the kinds of people who cry about Signal dropping support for SMS.
Yeah, I’m one of em. I’m well aware it’s not secure, but as a frontend, signal certainly was more customizable and pleasant to use even for just the few people I had to sms till I could convince to use signal.
It was so much easier to convince people to use Signal when it had SMS support. I think while Signal needed to drop it, it wasn’t the time yet.
I’m not convinced it ever should’ve. Make it obvious sms mode is in use, etc etc. But it was great to have everything in one place. One blocklist, great photo editing etc
so, have you guys heard of matrix?
yeah, it’s cia
are you trying to say that matrix is run by the CIA?
The federated, foss software stacked network matrix. Right.
