It’s more secure in one specific way, a warrant is required to wiretap a phone line, but not the internet.

- tinus_hn 7y agoThen again most phone lines run over the internet these days. No idea how that works out with snooping laws.
- drdeadringer 7y agoMy home phone is VOIP [I'm one of those early-adopter Ooma people]. I accept that when power goes out my phone dies with it just as I accept the warrant issue. Perhaps this is an unintended "transparency issue" so I won't be fooled thinking that my phone conversations are legally sacred, but at origin it was simply a "I'm not paying for that" deal. Side Note: Yes I am just old enough to want, and actively go out to have, a home phone albeit with current technology. I'll take retro-futurism when I can get it.

- tinus_hn 7y agoWhat I mean is that even if you have an old school POTS landline (if these are still offered) most of your calls are going to be at least partly routed over the internet, just because it is so much cheaper than maintaining the analog infrastructure.
