Phones are compromised by default. E2EE doesn't matter if someone else owns both ends.
- matttrotter 5y agoYeah I see what you’re saying, but there will always be the tech equivalent of the back room whisper - a private and authentic conversation. The platform may change, but it will exist because there’s always a need for it. Now, Signal fills that need. In the future… tor on open source hardware? Something else?
- wolverine876 5y ago> Phones are compromised by default The issue is a matter of degree. Everything and everyone are compromised to some degree; perfection is not the standard.
- swiley 5y agoHow about I rephrase it then: The popular mobile OS vendors as a matter of policy exfiltrate data from the phone to third parties, either for free or for pay. Phones are compromised by default to a very high degree.
- wolverine876 5y agoYes, I strongly agree.
