I hate how every character just pretend like phone lines and text messages are secure, and talk about their plan to defeat the villain, blow shit up, cast magic, or whatever, on their normal smartphone with all the surveillance on it.
And like “Is this a secure line?” WTF is that question? How do you magically “secure” a line? (there’s no magic in-universe btw)
Is there anything that’s accurate to real life?
Man it was fucking WILD how that show told us about the government spying on us (albeit dramatized) and ran so long they referenced Snowden directly.
First time I heard about the NSA was on a Simpsons episode, the joke was that they spied on people. I also had the misfortune of reading Digital Fortress some time after that and again it depicted NSA as spying on people.
I didn’t get why people were so shocked when it turned out that NSA was spying on people.
