Look, it’s why we did Projekt:ONI 5 yrs. Ago…

If your ISP is compromised how do you stay private?

The FBI knows it’s suddenly a real problem, and they are advising people to use Signal. They know that Signal is not backdoored, and they know that encryption is a Net win for people, especially in these circumstances.

Long term, we need to be looking to solutions like Veilid Framework to deny any adversary from having access to our metadata…

but for now, Use Signal, Use TOR.

@TheGibson

I doubt either are really secure, but it is better than nothing. Definitely avoid SMS.

@SpaceLifeForm Signal is pretty darned private.

@TheGibson

There is still a phone number involved last I checked.

Which means SS7 under the hood at some point.

But SS7 is not secure.

Tor is maybe good if you don't hit any exit nodes.

@thegibson So why does that only apply to "Americans"? Is it that their providers are especially vulnerable, and all others are not? πŸ€”
