This one's fucking insane.
In January of last year, Illinois police received a tip from the FBI that a teacher had threatened the life of a student.
They brought in 22-year-old Kristen Volpe. Apparently, during class, a rambunctious kid had turned off her computer while she was making a lesson plan. So she posted to a private Snapchat group, that was just her, her two roommates, and her boyfriend, something very close to: "A kid turned off my computer in the middle of making a lesson plan. Should I shoot him or nah?"
Snapchat's AI, which apparently snoops on every private message, automatically forwarded this to the FBI. The FBI called the Illinois police. The police arrested her, and she had to spend a night in jail.
What. The fuck.
This is why you can only use end to end encrypted chat apps that aren't owned by the majors.
This is the key. Snapchat supposedly has end to end encryption but this is the 3rd thread on this board in as many weeks about someone getting arrested for what they say on that spyware app. Big tech always installs back doors. Everything they do is motivated by malice.
Goodluck. I've yet to meet anyone I chat with that is willing to use these apps lol. Session is shutting down and it was the best. Status is probably the current best. The absolute best is Briar but it doesn't work in IOS because Apple doesn't allow the tech used in it on their phones (which is how you know it's good) so goodluck getting adoption to that. Telegram sold out after the France incident. Signal has a known CIA backdoor.
But trooners are allowed to groom children on discord
Here we go with the panopticon. People with Alexas and Google Home etc have listening devices planted in their home as well.
AI is the tool that makes all of this possible. Without that the volume of information is simply unmanageable, but here we are with every powerful institution on the face of the planet throwing trillions of dollars into it.
These cops are disgusting. Our society isn't ready to handle everyone's private thoughts being made public. No society is or ever will be.
It used to be that you had to be on a real watchlist for the Feds to snoop on your TV or phone listening to you, now we let them listen with devices that have to be on at all times to function. Very sad.
At this point I assume the only secure communication to be had is by hiking into the woods with close friends and having a conversation away from all of the electronics.
And even then, if you haven't known those friends for decades, the chances of one or more of them being an FBI plant is nowhere close to zero.
