    It simply isn’t. Remember snowden? The NSA? TAO? Pegasus? Our government is simply more open and honest with us (might be a side effect of having real democracy as opposed to a charade put on by bought candidates every 4 years). Also before you say that’s just America, Europe are American vassal states all of these and more (since this is just what has leaked) are deployed against Europeans too and intel is shared in deals like five eyes.

        The method of voting isn’t what makes it real democracy it’s the class content of the state and the fact that voting is a ritual for representatives that will only ever serve capital as opposed to voting being a single part of a daily system of feedback and interaction with deputies embedded in the grassroots situation who need accomplishments (to solve our problems) to go for higher offices. There’s a reason the number of billionaires in China is shrinking while public services and social safety nets are constantly seeing investment while in Europe and America austerity for the masses and tax cuts for the rich is law.

        End to end encrypted

        Nice vibes based analysis sort of redundant when they have backdoors on every piece of technology deployed there or the fact that most end to end encrypted messages are some mix of lying and insecure like WhatsApp.

          I use signal and I’m free to. I’m confident it’s secure. Confident enough that my wife can send me a titty pic without someone looking at it. I would not do that with WeChat.

          You call out a straw man about it being back doored when you’ve no idea that’s the case but we’re certain it is in China.

          You go ahead and try to create an end to end encrypted messaging platform there and see what happens.

          Hell… use pgp in your WeChat. See what happens.

                Bring it on. Disprove the rare vance incident, or prove your bullshit claims about WeChat. If you can do neither, it’s a clear case of projection.

                  WeChat uses transport encryption but not end to end. This is well known. If you’re unwilling to search here’s an article.

                  However WeChat doesn’t use end-to-end encryption (E2EE).

                  Here’s another.

                  WeChat encrypts data, but it’s not E2EE, which means WeChat can access the content of your messages

                  And another (this one’s from citizen lab and a reasonably technical dive).

                  On a technical level, WeChat’s encryption protocol protects the communication between user devices and WeChat’s servers. It is not an end-to-end encryption system, which would encrypt data sent between two user devices.

                  There’s no end to them tbh.

                  If you can find me anything that says WeChat uses E2E anywhere I’ll read it but they don’t even claim that themselves so I think you’ll be hard pressed.

                  Here’s a list of blocked phrases on WeChat.

                  I honestly have no idea what you’re banging on about with the Vance thing. I’m not from the USA which I assumed was your assertion.

                    I didn’t ask you to prove anything about e2e. I asked you to prove that “something bad happens to you when you use pgp in WeChat”

                    Read about the rare vance incident, what happened there was pretty much what you were so insistent on would happen in china. That’s why I assumed you were projecting.

                    Maybe you were not projecting, that’s ok. Maybe you read it in a fiction book. Or it came to you in a dream. Who knows, you certainly won’t tell me.

            I hate to break it to you but if the government want to see that titty pic if it’s on either of your phones or any other device they can and likely have.

            You call out a straw man about it being back doored when you’ve no idea that’s the case but we’re certain it is in China.

            Again remember snowden? If you live in the western hemisphere the US and Israeli intelligence apparatus owns all of your tech that’s the unfortunate truth you need to reckon with.

              If we work off the assumption that signal is secure then not without a court order where I live.

              Not quite the same in China.

              Edit: Awwww. The mods are removing my posts now. Bless their fragile hearts.

              Since that’s happening I’m out now. It’s been an interesting discussion though I fundamentally disagree that surveillance there is the same as everywhere else. I’ve made my points. Catch you again o/

                    It’s clearly true you are just stating things that are untrue but you feel must be because you are a chauvinist. And you are an idiot as you look past the very clearly documented history of the EuroAmerikan surveillance apparatus and pretend it’s not real and if it is real it’s bound by your laws etc etc. Hence you are a chauvinist and an idiot.

                Yes the EuroAmerican intelligence apparatus famous for obeying court orders and never being outed by whistleblowers for running massive illegal spying and data harvesting operations. Are you trolling?
