- MBCook 10y agoThe barrier on PGP or GPG is EXTREMELY high for a bunch of normal people on various kinds of cell phones. I can see why someone found an app that someone thought was secure and everyone went with it.
- cookiecaper 10y agoIt works pretty smoothly with K-9 Mail + APG.
- allendoerfer 10y agoNot good enough, you still have metadata, which in this case is gold. "So you were messaging General X, while he was performing the coup. Would you like to tell us more about this, maybe during some waterboarding?"
- bad_user 10y agoEmail addresses are not necessarily identifiable. Use a VPN or TOR and setup a Gmail account. Or maybe buy a prepay GSM card with 3G bandwidth included, and use it while moving through town.
- matheweis 10y agoHave you actually tried to set up an anonymous gmail account recently? Because I think you'll find that it is borderline impossible. Gmail's algorithms end up requiring SMS authentication when you're working over tor, which essentially deanonymizes you or requires the additional step of getting a burner phone for SMS; neither of which is good and probably will get you on all sorts of lists...
- allendoerfer 10y agoAdditionally: "Burner phone" does not work in many countries. Where I am you cannot anonymously buy a prepaid phone.
- kwhitefoot 10y agoBuy one in another country. If you are serious about revolution getting a few imported phones to use is hardly a big problem.
