> it can be tracked retroactively on virtually every street, every highway, etc.

Not virtually. Actually.

NSA et al can do - will they publicly tip that hand for this?

Anyone working on AT&Ts infrastructure (to have familiarity with what that building even is) knows that small attack won't bring them down.
52% of total, last I checked.

Wow, people in Africa and India must be the blindest of them all!

Or...maybe it's not as simple as throwing money out of a helicopter?

Lack of technology education.

People spend time, money, effort on things important to them.

Things can't be important if they're not on someone's radar.

One could argue anyone that owns an iPhone.

Public/private keypairs.

Solved problem since Nam.

Stuff that spreads through the air spreads in places where air is circulated around.

This is more obvious than normal.

Accuracy mattered more than how relevant Google decided you were to society.

The labelling should be improved to educate the user more. That's it.

What you're discussing is really the level of convenience, and what that does to influence user behavior.

What other security oriented apps have their own encryption scheme, independent of device system security?

Infamous.

This isn't a Signal problem.

It's a pervasive problem of lack of technology and security education in the West.

Not a priority for US etc to show people how to secure themselves.

You can't say a firewall is insecure because someone installed it in a network where one can walk in freely and take the passwords off of the sticky note on the desk.

And scooters.

and revamping the US highway system with assisted driving beacons/lines etc - because they're the only ones with enough money to do so.

Would be dead simple for them to offer a Google Voice like app that links to a standard terrestrial phone network backbone.

What I mean to say is: those aren't "your platforms" - and you DON'T speak for the entire internet.

Even if you feel that way.

Re:Voat Is Shutting Down on Tuesday December 22, 2020 @10:51AM (#25507456)
You don't think people who run, or are users of, 4Chan/Voat/IRC channels etc actually care about your preferences...?
Either these people feel superior because they did/unlocked an experience that most haven't,

OR

they activated their latent schizophrenia.
