Microblog post: "Family won't move our group chat to signal. Had to leave. Here comes the guilt trip ๐Ÿ˜’". Screenshot of a iMessage conversation with a contact named Mom: "Please come back to the group chat. We are making thanksgiving plans and we need your input." - "As I said in the group chat, you shouldn't be using iMessage. Signal is better Opsec. Once everyone starts taking that seriously you know where to find me." - "Gam Gam is 92. She barely knows how to use the phone she has." - "She needs to adapt"

It's a very thin line these days. It's like trying to distinguish theonion vs nottheonion articles.

    This one was satire, I googled the account name and nothing they post is serious

    I'm not doubting there are people who care about privacy but don't know anything about it. But the account who made the twitter post, was making fun of those people.

    They just didn't put "/s"

    And when a screenshot strips all context, it's really hard to tell. Which is why I actually went to twitter, it's the only way to be sure.

    People need to stop taking things presented in a vacuum with zero context, as whatever they first assume it to be.
