        It’s probably the most secure,. commonly available, messaging platform right now. They keep a bare minimum of metadata on their servers. Basically enough to link you on the platform. After that, everything is e2e encrypted and they can’t tell authorities anything.

        Other platforms are a sliding scale from to/from/time data, all the way up to full messages.

The main problem in the movie was that they leapt straight from “your name came out of this machine” to “ten years cyber-purgatory. No trial.”

      Movies are designed to sell as many tickets as possible by presenting scenarios that provoke endorphins. They’re not serious scenarios you should be making real-world decisions based off of.

      It appears there is. They are using it to determine an areas general feelings are towards a US military presence in an area (whether the local population feels they need help from the US or not) as a means of helping to determine best locations for setting up garrisons and bases or whatever during a conflict. Which makes sense as you don’t want to choose an area that really doesn’t want you there as they likely become an asset to the enemy and put your soldiers at risk.
