I hope I'm not coming off as a conspiracy nut, but I can't see the US Government being too keen on something like this that's truly untraceable.
IANAL, but it seems to me that every service or software that is used for personal communication is forced by the Feds to allow accessibility for wiretapping circumstances.
Of course, I'm completely against it and I believe the situation is completely untenable for them to persist, but I don't think a social picture app will be the ones to stand tall on user privacy.
- SeanDav 14y agoThis hardly untraceable. Everything going through the networks is recordable and the Government has access to it all.
- ChikkaChiChi 14y agoRight, but the same could be said about Facebook and other social networks. The FBI wants more specific access to social media services so that they can gather contextual evidence instead of just whatever is out there in the ether: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-57544139-38/judge-prods-fbi-over-future-internet-surveillance-plans/ http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-57544139-38/judge-prods-fb...
- pekk 14y agoThe point is that at a technical level, SnapChat imposes no barriers to an actor like NSA. It's not even designed to. So it's already far from "untraceable" and it's gratuitous to suggest that the government will kill the service or even need to change anything in order to see what you are sending on SnapChat when they want to.
