With FedNow they can just monitor everything.
The slippery slope is rapidly becoming a cliff.
I’ll preface with centralization to this degree we are experiencing is very bad. Just wanted to say something because I think it’s worth consideration.
I detest government agencies as much as the next guy, but that increase isn’t necessarily correlated with increased gov overreach. This is more a reflection of two things. Increased corporate centralization and increased internet traffic by everyone on planet earth.
Don't have to worry about that here everything is public anyway
F*uck the gov's!
😮💨
This is bad. Really bad
I see an exponential growth pattern here… 📈
This is a scary chart. 1984 style statists analysis.
This is what outsourcing surveillance looks like

The best time to reduce your data exposure to large tech conglomerates is now.
CalyxOS (or Graphene) are a great start.

I was ready to buy a pixel and put graphene on it… but the aCROPalypse and radio firmware (?) bugs recently disclosed that had been around for years really gave me pause.
Apple’s new encryption options seem to keep a lot of data truly encrypted (with a key they do not have even in device backups)
What do you think of these developments? What do you say to this iOS user for whom the cropping bug really would have been a problem?
That all iOS users have to trust Apple is doing what they're claiming they're doing.
Yes, indeed. 🤔 It would seem they have more to loose than I if they were lying though.
As far as competence goes, the recent issues with android devices really gave me pause. Even graphene was effected by the modem issue in pixels, I believe.
It is clear that the most secure and private mobile device is not having one. I don’t think I can swing that, practically.
They've done it once, can't see why they wouldn't do it again.
And yes, even a Pixel running Open Source software isn't the silver bullet. There's always trust in using any mobile device, it's just about limiting your exposure in as many practical ways as possible. The alternative being, as you correctly suggested, is to not use a phone at all.
