the White House has, for the past decade, provided more than $6 million to the program, which allows the targeting of the records of any calls that use AT&T’s infrastructure

the program takes advantage of numerous “loopholes” in federal privacy law

the DAS program has been used to produce location information on criminal suspects and their known associates, a practice deemed unconstitutional without a warrant

What’s important when you’d like to have absolute privacy or anonymity is, to realize that you can’t. “Use this, and no one can read your message.” is a typical mistake. “This service is world most secure” etc. is just a lie. Anyone who claims that privacy can be simple/easy is either a liar or doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

A rare example of honest/true statements, on the other hand, can be seen on the Cock.li website: http://rurcblzhmdk22kttfkel2zduhyu3r6to7knyc7wiorzrx5gw4c3lftad.onion/

How can I trust you?

You can't.

In this specific case about the US, though, what’s most important is obviously to somehow stop this unconstitutional surveillance by the government (only making AT&T happy and rich). Please, don’t waste a lot of money to invade normal people’s privacy when you already have trillions of debts 😢
