@tim_lavoie @slashdottir @evacide nicee! Anyway I've already gone thru the post, and tho I don't live in the USA it's pretty worrying. Because it's basically an "all your data are belong to us" kind of policy. I have my crypto keys saved on an American cloud server. So I guess from now on we'll have to be politically correct online and use crypto for our private communications.

@UnSimpleTatin @slashdottir @evacide Haha, I'll stick with Signal for now, thanks!

Also not in the US, but I'm sure we have our own plague of data-selling locusts.
