- kube-system 5y agoEven if you use pen and paper it can still be subpoenaed.
- ta988 5y agoHarder if you don't know that the paper exists and it is not in US controlled territories.

- smoldesu 5y agoSure, because at least then I can have a top-down view of my security, instead of having it abstracted away into corners where I have to trust Apple to do the right thing (see article above as for why we don't do that).

- squarefoot 5y ago> Why would you use Apple software/services for anything like this? You know it's backdoored. Why would anyone use closed proprietary software/hardware/services for anything like this? You know it's backdoored, or soon will be, since putting backdoors in software is both a profitable business for corporations, and a convenient cheap way to find unwanted people for governments.
