I suspect that my privacy has been fucked since I was a kid. I remember hearing my dad talk, way back when I was in elementary school in the 70s, about how the goverment "has all of your records." This problem is nothing new, but it is getting more insidious.

All comments are subject to approval before they are published, so they will not appear immediately. Comments should be civil, relevant, and substantive. Anonymous comments are not allowed and will be unceremoniously deleted. For more on my comments policy, please see this entry on my other blog.
AND A NEW RULE (per this post): comments critical of Trump's lying must include criticism of Biden's or Kamala's or some prominent leftie's lying on a one-for-one basis! Failure to be balanced means your comment will not be published.

Signal is the app to use for privacy.
ReplyDeleteSo what do you think? Do we switch? And what's the guarantee that Signal isn't compromised?
DeleteThere are no guarantees that the information is not compromised. As you allude, it is probably safer to assume that all digital transmissions are to some extent compromised. Some acquaintances I know who work in Defense and Intelligence areas of Fed Gov't all use Signal. If nothing else, it is run by a not-for-profit entity that doesn't advertise. So they don't sell your info or track you.
ReplyDeleteOkay. Well, I've just downloaded the Signal app and have registered myself on it. Same procedure as WhatsApp: you have to give it your phone number (which, to me, isn't a great sign).
DeleteI have done so as well and tried to send a test message to you from my account.
