Regardless of what you think about abortion laws people just gotta come to terms with the fact that your phone and computer are not reliable partners in crime
They should be? I mean, not just for the crime, but in general privacy should be the default.
I mean yeah it should but you gotta follow the old saying "don't write when you can speak, don't speak when you can nod, don't nod if you can wink" or whatever. You have an expectation of privacy when sending physical mail for example, but it's still a bad idea to put a crime in writing if you don't have to. Even if it can't legally be used as evidence it can be read. We've seen that with 'parallel construction' from law enforcement
I've actually never heard that saying. I like it a lot.
It's one of those quotes with a lot of different versions floating around I think it's generally attributed to this guy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Lomasney
Wait, lemme write that down
I'm taking notes, Jim. I just can't write any faster!
Wicked. A nod is as good as a wink to a blind bat
The Klingons of Star Trek also have a saying: If you do not wish a thing heard, do not say it.
It should be, I fully agree, unfortunately we live in a digital panopticon.
You can always use something like PGP to encrypt your communication.
True, sadly not many people show up for my key signing parties, even if I serve three kinds of chips.
Only if you trust the device your decrypting on. Wouldn't trust windows or Mac with information that could put me in jail.
Except in france.
Sorry, i don't find it anymore in all the white noise about france being anti encryption. It was about a group of teens being detained on the grounds of mere suspection for using and promoting encrypted messaging, online privacy, using tor and so on, painting that fact as a crime.
Madcow -- While you are not wrong, we are talking about the unwashed masses here who are not necessarily savvy. "Private chat" really should have been.
TIL the of the word Panopticon. Thanks stranger
