    The end of an era.

    Or actually, probably not until we redo whole cellular phone technology works and kick out all the bad actors using SS7 vulnerabilities for stuff like spoofing numbers and stealing messages. We really shouldn’t be using a 45 year old system for almost all communications.

      Use Telegram.

      Not the app, the 200 year old wire radio messaging system based on Morse code, E2EE (Elderly man to Elderly man Enciphered)

        I guarantee you that is the opposite of a solution, old man encryption is very easily hacked by other old men for spoofing, redirecting, or listening.

      In their defense, they JUST applied an update in March 1993, so they’re knocking on the doors of cutting edge technology updates -_-
