Major Comm Platforms are Compromised
Anything that uses a phone number...TG, WhatsApp, Signal, also emails...
Don’t believe me, listen carefully to these gentlemen talking to the Scottish Parliament…
“Where have the messages gone?” That’s going to be the real question after everyone realizes everything they said in those “private” comm applications have been collected.
So much for privacy and security. No need for any code reviews….it’s now out there for anyone to see for themselves. If they “have it”, by definition whatever the code was is worthless, regardless what any “security expert” tells you. If that’s true in the UK, it’s true in USA and everywhere else in the world. You have been notified!
“The Scottish Government has not handed over any WhatsApp messages to the UK Covid Inquiry. It comes after indiscreet UK Government communications sent on the app during the pandemic were made public. The Inquiry heard that key decision makers did use WhatsApp but that very few messages appear to have been retained. Lawyers raised questions about why messages were deleted.”
Good thing there are people working on a real solution to privacy, using private networks. I’ll have more about this in the near future.
Remember, if a phone number is required to use something, that is a UNIQUE_ID for your personal record. Most public encryption isn’t as good as you have been told.
Without real privacy, there is no civil society. Your private writings are your private property. When privacy is gone, lots of people gain access to your private things….they are no longer your property at that point. In fact, this is about private property.
