WhatsApp. Next Question.

I mean yeah, this is old news, which is why some messages take longer than others. Pictures sift through the "cloud" which is really just more computers determining if your turtle is a weapon.

Here in Argentina, we don't even use text messages, since they cost money per text. So we just turned to Whatsapp as our main text communication. It also allows you to send pictures, voice messages, create group chats and more. Really convenient if you ask me. Plus, they have 2 end encryption, which is nice. #notsponsored

Like half of my messages would get censored for the slightly more colorful language I use with my friends. The FCC can suck my ass.

“So the FCC won’t let me be..”

When I read the first sentence I thought this was a parody of Without Me by Eminem 😂😂

It sounds like [i]The FCC wont let you be, we should make it so they let you be you[/i]

The biggest (in my opinion) problem with the American government is the bureaucratic shenaniganary.

The level app is much cooler than the flashlight app. Get your priorities straight yungun. As for the text monitoring / deleting, that's a slippery slope for them to tangle with. Any carrier who offer service that bans spam messages (which I am entirely for), but also guarantees not censoring your own texts will be the carrier everyone will flock to. So all carriers would be idiots to ever start doing such a thing.

I’m always for downsizing government agencies

Whelp I'm calling it. The United States was published by EA. As for the Signal app, it sounds like texting but with a layer of privacy. From reading the description, it looks like it might just copy over all the numbers saved in the phone and you just text with the app. Not 100% sure on that since I don't have the app but if the states are going pay to win, I think a little privacy won't hurt.

Signal is a messaging app with a focus on privacy. Your conversations have "end-to-end encryption", meaning messages can only be read by the sender and recipient. Not your phone carrier, or phone maker, or internet provider, or even Signal itself is able to read the messages-- even if they wanted to. There are other messaging apps that offer this feature: WhatsApp and iMessage (to other iMessage users) have encryption on by default, and you can enable it in FB Messenger (look for the "Secret Conversation" switch). Text messages are not end-to-end encrypted. Signal is just as easy to use as any other messaging app, though a little more barebones. It's different from the other encrypted options in that a) its encryption is open-source, meaning anyone can pry into it and verify that it's actually working and b) it's not owned by a company like Facebook, which has a, shall we say, dubious track record of respecting users' privacy. Signal also has a feature that lets you force a conversation to self-destruct after a certain period of time, which removes all traces of it from your and the other person's phone-- in case you're concerned about someone physically looking through the phone for a conversation. The big caveat is that you can only send encrypted messages to other Signal users, and I bet most of us can count the number of Signal users we know on one hand (or no hands). You can also send normal texts from Signal to people who don't have it, but of course that kind of defeats the purpose, as these will not be encrypted. I myself have the app and have used it like 4 times before giving up because nobody else has it lol.
