@pettter@mastodon.acc.umu.se as far as wiretapping goes, the encryption (assuming it is robust, correctly implemented, and also not trivially cracked) make that pointless unless I’m mistaken, right? Without access to the key, they’d just get noise. Definitely, though, the “US controlled operating systems” is a weak link for sure, particularly if there’s a method of obtaining said key.

I think it’s probably wise to assume no encryption will help you stave off the eye of Sauron when it’s aimed directly at you, but if you want to make sure you don’t catch it by accident signal is probably a good choice.

Do you have any suggestions for communication programs not entirely controlled by US entities? (this is a genuine question but because I’m tired it reads as sarcastic to me so I’m writing this to make it clear it’s something I’m genuinely curious in!)
