      thank you, is that done by impersonating you and fooling your telecom company's customer service personnel?

      okay, I use a #pin when I call them for verification, but will use an alternative to #SMS for sensitive conversations

      I would just not use SMS at all; better protection. If you use it only for "sensitive" stuff, that's also a signal.

      Depends. PCs are harder to secure than phones, especially iPhones, also one usually doesn't lug one around.

      'PCs are harder to secure than phones?' I am sorry that is not a factual statement. @hardindr @yorksranter

      I sincerely hope you don't plan on advocating security solely via smart phone apps. @hardindr @yorksranter

      Depends on your threat model; most people are better off with an iPhone + Signal or WhatsApp than any PC.

      You are starting to worry me. The most a smart phone with signal can provide is privacy. Never anonymity.

      True anonymity is beyond the reach of your casual user; and rarely their goal. Consider threat models and capabilities.

          Given that not everybody lives in a democratic country, anonymity on social media is very much a central issue.

          Given the degree of surveillance & profiling in US people will likely be blocked from certain career path due to their social media.
