@f4grx @debacle @nicoco @Elizafox @signalapp it's nit FUD, but #InconvenientTruth.

You know what I #XMPP+#OMEMO and #PGP/MIME need?

@dzwiedziu @0x4d6165 @F3715H I sincerely disagree, given the mounting circumstances.

The only secure comms are those where you are able to exercise your #RightToRemainSilent through #SelfCustody aka. #realE2EE. Regardless if #XMPP+#OMEMO or #PGP/MIME!

It would be dellusional to expect ANYONE from any messenger to be willing to face jailtime for a user/client!

Attached: 1 image Obviously, [this](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/115406157263490476) is not #disinformation given the #facts and circumstantial evidence. - TELL ME WHERE I'M WRONG! --- - #useast1 is in VA, USA. That's *very close* to #CIA and #NSA and if you think otherwise, buy yourself a fucking map! - @signalapp@mastodon.world collects #PII in the form of #PhoneNumbers and stores them. - Without the #US #Government's blessing they'd not merely *restrict* their #MobileCoin - #Shitcoin availability but be forced to not allow users from #Cuba, #Iran, #Russia and #NorthKorea to even sign up. - #SIgnal almost certainly has been abused by bad actors (i.e. organized crime) by mere statistical inevitability and being forced to comply with duely issued warrants and other legislation (i.e. #CloudAct) or otherwise everyone from C-level down to developer would've faced jailtime until they complied. - #Centralization of Signal isn't excuseable as stupidity or malpractise! - The #FBI has pulled off bigger stings (i.e. #ANØM / #OperationIronside / #OperationTrøjanShield)... I do expect the reinstatement of my [original post!](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/115406157263490476)

$INSTANCE defederating infosec.space cuz 'Feds are there' is like the most dense idea I've heard.

  • Sorry to break it to you, but @snowden and the whole #PRISM affair seems to have gone over your head...

We live in the age of #33ThomasStreet & #Room641A, so unless you put your stuff behind a #VPN that endpoints in #Tor, they'll #BULLRUN you for the lulz.

  • If you are genuinely frightened about the #NSA aka. #AmericanStasi - (and you should) - then you need to realize that your threat assessment either accepts that and treats all comms in the #Fediverse as public and insecure (Which #Mastodon explicitly warns you about in it's DMs: They are not secure!) or you stop using #Fedi entirely.

Like you guys honestly believe that using #Signal will be more secure than #XMPP+#OMEMO when the confirmation-#SMS sent by @signalapp will earmark you as 'Person of Interest' and it's very centralized nature among many problems makes it a #HoneyPot run by #UsefulIdiots from my POV!

Look, I hate to be the one poppin' bubbles and you with your instance have your right to choose to (de-)federate with whomever you want.

  • Which is why I don't callout said instance. Dogpiling wouldn't fix people that densely wrapped in tinfoil.

  • You have the right to block me if that's too painful for ya.

But just like looking away doesn't make problems go away, neither will ignoring the truth.

I'm sorry if this #venting seems bitter, but some folks really need to get the fuck outside and #TouchGrass since there are folks on said instance working in that whole MIL/INTEL complex they so despise.

So, you want to be a darknet drug lord... - Pastebin.com

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

Pastebin

@jalley it's the people, because other places with similar amounts of weapons per capita - if not more when we look at illegal ones - don't have #US #ViolenceCulture and subsequent Mass Shootings aka. "advanced suicides"…

  • And with the #fascist government in power I'd rather expect them to disarm #marginalized and enable white psychopaths to terorrize the former!

Cuu that's what all the fash did in past and present: Make their.enemies depend on their "mercy" instead of rule of law!

The official version? That nothing happened.
But every witness knew otherwise.

@starraven yes, because #NRA is just a bunch of #racist white men with some token women and BPoC's to "diversity-wash" their PR...

#Trump is a #christofacist and the unwillingness of the masses to revolt shows how #antisocial and #disconnected the #USA's civil society has become.

  • A society of "#LadderPullers" that lives by the motto: "Thanks I got mine!"

#REFORUSA will be an inevitability and the earlier #Europe accepts this fact and acts accordingly the less bloody it'll be...
