  • I think the people downvoting you are a little confused. Not only SMS but even direct phone calls can be intercepted and the owner would never be any the wiser, because the network for phones called SS7 and the access points, the “global titles”, are so widespread around the globe that anybody and their grandmother can get one, imitate your Sim card’s unique identifier “IMSI”, and get your calls and texts routed to them. (If they have a spare $10,000 anyways)

    This is why many communication options these days advertise that they are encrypted.








    1. This ridiculous trend of people linking one or multiple opinion articles is as fucking annoying as Tankies leaving a giant wall of text pulling from various manifestos, you’ve basically done the same thing with an added middleman. A bunch of what-ifs and hypotheticals doesn’t change the facts. Getting 58 DNC senators wasn’t enough but it was still a huge accomplishment, and this “all or nothing” approach to reform is just childish. Just because Obama didn’t give Dean a bunch of positions doesn’t indicate any acts of malice, and his actual choice for HHS, Kathleen Sebelius was also a supporter for Public Option.

    2. Overturning SCOTUS decisions isn’t as simple as electing a simple senate majority, you’re either wildly misinformed or you’re arguing in bad faith.
