Again, do Venezuelans deserve to be able to communicate privately?
Every state has the right to defend themselves, I'm a big supporter of Ukraine. But this is not that. You asked me of I know what apps the opposition use. Do you have proof that there are foreign agents and they use signal?
From a technical standpoint, this is useless. Only harms the population. If you believe this is wrong, please explain why this can't be bypassed with a VPN or proxy. I'm even forfeiting the proof that it's actively being used for "enemies of the state". And to west l what extend should Venezuela go? Lockdown from outside? Banning all encryption?
I have replied to all or nearly all your questions. If you don't intend to answer mine, then it's a waste of time.
I see your colors. Ukraine, historically, undemocratic due to western interference. Made the Communist Party illegal and disbanded it. Very good democracy there.
They are very much the same, except Venezuela is better at defending itself from said western interference.
Again, no answers. Why do I try to speak with a Tankie? Just another "useful" idiot that never left his US state.
At least your messages are here to show what you really think about privacy.
Lol Aw, are the geopolitics to complicated for you? At least your comments are here to show how you really feel about democracy.
