the majority of the communications services you use are probably encrypted in some capacity. there's nothing inherently nefarious about security. that being said, i won't say it's unreasonable to be a bit thrown off when people stress encrypted communication so much, but encryption isn't incriminating at all on its own
still i think it's funny when people talk about protest movements like this as though the participants are somehow intimately connected through some underground terrorist organization. i wouldn't doubt if some dumb kids proudly claimed they were working for antifa and tried to pretend they were planning the biggest big bad of all tho

You can tho (Telegram, Wire, Signal are three examples, dunno if WhatsApp allows that)
Fundamentally https and encrypted messaging apps are the same; you're having an encrypted conversation with a third party (Whether that be a computer server or a person) that nobody else is capable of decrypting. They're just specialized for different purposes. One is specialized for webpages and one is specialized for human conversations.

yeah because i'm sitting here trying to brag about my supposed career as a blockland forum poster
--- Quote from: Tactical Nuke on September 28, 2017, 11:42:03 PM ---nice equivalence, because messaging apps are totally comparable to the world-wide web

yeah literally. the difference between this website and signal is that this is technically public in the end, you're just hiding it from your immediate surroundings. but the PMs you've sent on the forum? ohhhhh yeah, that's fishy as hell man, you should post all of them here just for full disclosure and stuff

So what I'm getting out of this is that it's easy to make things sound shady when you take them out of context.
Why can't these dumb youtube personalities be straight to the point when they discuss politics? It's always beating around the bush, stuffty brown townogies and purposeful misinterpretations. I'm convinced that every youtuber people here commonly post don't give a forget about their message and have specifically tried to craft the art of droning on for 10 minutes to an hour about something a good chunk of people will adamantly listen to solely for the profit.
