I'm stating my personal opinion. Call it FUD all you want. I think most discerning Patriots are well aware of the fact that our IC is spying on everyone and leveraging that information for nefarious purposes.
Enjoy Signal all you want.
The traffic cameras are still spying on your travel habits.
If you have a modern vehicle, it's spying on you if you use GPS or voice control.
Business cameras and neighborhood cameras are spying on you.
Your utility providers are spying on your energy habits.
Your smartphone is still spying on you through the microphone, camera, GPS, WIFI, Bluetooth, NFC, and your browsing habits. VPNs are not 100% secure either.
If you think you are safe because you use Signal, maybe you are, maybe you aren't, but there are many things out of your control that are spying on you everywhere you go.
Thanks for clarifying, fren. My initial reply was to your comment, but it wasn't meant to call you out specifically or to hijack the thread or anything. I just wanted to join the conversation and it seemed like an area to jump in. Next time, I won't reply to you specifically or I will be more clear that my comment was general in nature.
I want members of our community to know that the surveillance state has become ubiquitous worldwide, especially in technologically advanced societies where most people have smartphones.
We really went into overdrive after 9-11. Perhaps the purpose of 9-11 was to increase the surveillance state.
Here is what 9-11 provided us with. (This is a general comment, you are obviously smart enough to know all this)
Patriot Act
Department of Homeland Security
Transportation Security Administration
Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI)
The big "story" out of 9-11 from the US Government was, "Oh, if only our intelligence agencies could have been talking to each other, we could have avoided the whole thing."
This led to the 4 items above being created that effectively allowed the FBI, CIA, DOJ, NSA, and all of the other Intelligence Agencies to effectively "legally" spy on anyone and everyone in the world.
The collusion with Five Eyes (FVEY) where partner nations effectively spy on each other's citizenry and then report back to each other what they are finding through foreign intelligence gathering effectively allows for global deep state spying on everyone everywhere using foreign intelligence gathering, rather than purely domestic spying.
What I mean by this is the US Constitution's 4th Amendment forbids unreasonable searches and seizures. Basically, a warrant is needed for probably cause to search someone's personal matters and potentially seize anything related to a crime. If the UK or Australia spies on Americans, this is not unconstitutional as it is not the US Government unconstitutionally spying on Americans, it is a foreign entity. Each of these nations spies on each other's citizenry and then reports the information to each other via their Five Eyes agreements.
If your main goal was to share links via text without the provider blocking them, then fine, I am glad Signal worked out. No one should think there is any app or smartphone that cannot be spied upon. It just isn't the world we live in anymore.
Anyways, sorry if it seemed like I was dumping on you. Not my intent at all. Have a great day.
It was one of many articles on the topic.
So you are telling us that Signal is so secure that the Intelligence Agencies can't spy within it?
