i’ve been meaning to switch fully to signal, but since not many people where i live wanna switch too, i often tell them to just call me. Is that private enough as a privacy conscious individual?

    Like traditional phone network “phone” calls? Absolutely not. Assume they’re 100% being recorded and fed into an AI model to look for “crimes” and “terrorism” and to classify you.

      I could be completely wrong but I believe this was a big outcome from the Patriot Act. Allowing US government to effectively scan every conversation without warrant.
