@retr0id @saagar @signalapp it's not #FLOSS if you can't #SelfHost yoir own #Sefvers + build your own #Client from scratch.

An internal British Telecom report on a secret trial of an ISP eavesdropping and advertising technology found that the system crashed some unsuspecting users’ browsers, and a small percentage of the 18,000 broadband customers under surveillance believed they’d been infected with adware.
