Unsurprising behavior from a community where the coolest person is the one who can put on the biggest tin foil hat. I appreciate the privacy community here but I think the concept itself leads to users decrying anything as insecure just because it makes them feel more knowledgeable.

Thanks, wish I’d found this earlier.

Did some searching. You’re referencing a podcast in which known propagandist and liar Tucker Carlson claims that an anonymous source of his implies the NSA broke into his Signal messages. Wish you’d qualified that in the post because that’s important context.

Don’t you think it’s way more likely that the guy blew his cover some other way? Googling hotels near the Kremlin or something? You know, because he’s a dumbass?

Is there any reason to believe the message and sender can be read from the data sent to the push service? From my understanding, that should still be encrypted.

Thanks for the list! Sharing this with lazy friends.

Ok, I think I misinterpreted yout comment to mean VPNs are not necessary. Thanks for the clarification.

Would you elaborate on this? Encrypting your traffic and not accessing sites from your actual IP address sounds pretty vital to privacy for me.

Thanks, this is the first explanation that’s actually clicked for me.
