Don’t y’all vote over there? Government isn’t us vs them. Government is us. Period.

I don't know about you guys but this feels like a reverse psychology psyop to increase the usage of these two apps. There are a ton more e2ee chat messengers, but they point to the only two apps using the signal protocol. Maybe they're sitting on some 0-day exploits?

But if you want to believe the surveillance government at face value then go right ahead.

I know this is gonna get downvoted but...

This is all going to lead to needing to use some open blockchain based communication system.

E2E encrypted, routed through a public blockchain they can't block. Use one of Ethereums L2 systems to keep short messages under a penny or two and route all payments through Tornado Cash so they can't be tracked.

All open source, nothing to take down, uncensorable.

It won't be for everyone at first it would he too technical in a lot of cases, but it's going to be the last option at the end of this road.

You are about 4 years behind the zeitgeist. Where is the AI?

Sorry my bad. The messages will all be converted into AI slop when you submit them so you aren't actually communicating with someone with your own written words so you have plausible deniability that you didn't actually write any messages using encryption which is now an offense punishable by death.
