I don't trust the privacy of any of those services, but there is a huge difference between "the government can subpoena information, or do targeted sniffing if you dont encrypt anything" and "we have a cron job set up that send everything directly to a government server for the express purpose of suppressing speech"
To be clear, those services are lame for being as untrustworthy as I believe they are, but let's not equate the two.
- the_pwner224 7y agoSniffing by the US government isn't that targeted. And the US does harass people who say stuff they don't like, and has a long history of doing this. Were just not executing/jailing that many of them right now.
- chance_state 7y agoPlease cite some sources of people being arrested and disappeared in the US for saying "stuff they don't like" (whoever "they" is).
- BobbyJo 7y agoIf that's the case, I've got a Facebook feed full of people they missed.
- darawk 7y agoThere is a very wide gulf between sniffing and companies explicitly building tools to facilitate government censorship and suppression.
