oh but I thought you had nothing to hide Sharon?
I thought you didn't care about using private messaging?
I thought you said to me that Signal is used only for creeps and drug dealers that need to hide from the police?
Well, thank god you're not one of those, I guess...good for you Sharon
And still Snap says they can't stop the snap drug trade..
Private message - it isn't private if it can get flagged 😅 .... and seriously, think about everything you have ever said or written, imagine someone taking one of those private sentences out of context... To even think that was a real threat you had to act upon says tons about the country and system, the work- and school environment. Just sad really😢
That's why big tech renamed them to direct messages (DM).
POV I'm walking past an elementary school.
she sent a private Snapchat message referencing shooting the child or the school
Yeah talking about committing a school shooting is going to get you flagged.
I don't think the government should be reading private messages
exactly. someone letting off steam to family or friends is as old as time. heck. bar conversation even.
It usually (probably) isn't. Snapchat (meta) is reading your private messages and then sending problematic ones to the government.
If you don't like that, then you should be using a messaging system that's actually private. Which means, at a bare minimum, end-to-end encryption.
Snapchat is not owned by Meta
Not owned by meta yet
Pick up that can
Oh cool. "Thought crime". Great.
By all that is both sacred and profane do not click the link without an ad blocker enabled!
One reason why you need to use a proper privacy respecting E2EE messaging e.g. Signal.
Jamil has entered the chat. P2P with E2EE, so you only ever need some internet connection to stay in touch, no servers to be taken down.
The only problem is that it'll eat your phone's battery like chrome eats RAM
Bonus points for one that does not even have your personal information e.g. Session.
Session is unfortunately not really an improvement. Signal have started work on options which won't need a number to register, I'd rather wait for that
Session is pretty much dead at this point
+1 for session
also matrix....
Wasn't session closing down?
