#SESSION (Loki Network/Decentralized)
Who uses it: Activists in Hong Kong, Belarus, Iran, and protest groups in the West. Why: If an activist is stopped, the police check the phone. In Session, there is no phone number, no address book, no logs of who spoke to whom. It is the best choice if the risk is having your device seized and trying to trace your network of contacts.

#SIMPLEX Who uses it: Whistleblowers, informants, crypto-anarchists. Why: It is the only app where a "user profile" truly doesn't exist on the server. If the server is seized, there is nothing to find. It is used when contact secrecy is vital more than ease of use.

Senator, who has repeatedly warned about secret US #GovernmentSurveillance, sounds new alarm over ‘#CIA activities’

by Zack Whittaker, February 6, 2026

Excerpt: "In 2011, #RonWyden said that the U.S. government was relying on a secret interpretation of the #PatriotAct, which he said — without disclosing the nature of his concerns — created a 'gap between what the public thinks the law says and what the American government secretly thinks the law says.'

"Two years later, then-#NSA contractor #EdwardSnowden revealed that the National Security Agency was relying on its secret interpretation of the Patriot Act to force U.S. phone companies, including Verizon, to turn over the call records of hundreds of millions of Americans on an ongoing basis.

"Since then, Wyden has sounded the alarm on how the U.S. government collects the contents of people’s communications; revealed that the Justice Department barred Apple and Google from disclosing that federal authorities had been secretly demanding the contents of their customers’ push notifications; and said that an unclassified report that #CISA has refused to release contains 'shocking details' about national security threats facing U.S. phone companies.

"As noted by Techdirt’s Mike Masnick, we may not know yet why Wyden sounded the siren about the CIA’s activities, but every time Wyden has warned, he has also been vindicated."

People should have pressured our elected politicians to go against mass surveillance of Americans. Man, fucking Americans love mass surveillance. This is what Americans deserve for not fighting against the Patriot Act after 9/11.

Lo scrittore genovese #MarcoSommariva mi ha chiesto per #OsservatorioRepressione come mai la società italiana NON ha mai prodotto una #ChelseaManning, un #DanielEllsberg o un #EdwardSnowden. E io ho risposto in questa intervista
