I'm not confident in government to do a better job at keeping it up, tbh. I also wouldn't use a messaging app by my gov, if that's what you meant. Too many dystopian ways for that to go wrong.
I have several messaging apps on my phone, and maybe that's just how it is for now.
- smoldesu 5y agoIf you have "several messaging apps" on your phone, I'd wager that you are using a messaging app by the government. Unless you have SMS disabled and talk to Grandma in her Matrix server, I doubt anyone is truly "safe" from government surveillance.
- unethical_ban 5y agoI think it would be awesome of the USPS offered email and Matrix services for free to people. I could even see it being useful as an official government communication mechanism. And every post-office would be an in-person help-desk for getting locked out or requesting any access help. Also, free 100kbps wifi, completely open. Along with banking and check-cashing, making the USPS into the generic hub of "dealing with money and communications with the goal of public service, not profit" would be amazing.
