You guys do realize that the only *truly private* method of communication through electronics are payphones, right?

>inb4 muh burner phones!
Buy them at the store they can catch you on surveillance and see your receipts. Buy it online and you can still get tracked. Only good in certain scenarios.
>internet & computers
No safe network exists. At least none that are civilian accessible.and a whole bunch of other shit too that the feds have up their sleeves (like using RF to see what you're doing). There are so many faults with using computers for privacy, esp as having any privacy whatsoever is impossible now unless you're Amish, that its reached the point that "internet privacy" has become an oxymoron. Even if there were ways to stay private, it would be extremely difficult.
>but muh Fairphone and Faraday Bag!
They can still track you even with a Faraday device.

Also, GrapheneOS is shit.
>cell phones
Your calls can easily be tapped, especially for dumb phone users, even though "privacy enthusiasts" claim otherwise.
>landline phones
The GCHQ already has every fiber line tapped once they reach land. They can simply splice a beamsplitter in cable. Or geosynchronous satellite which allows anybody with a radio receiver to listen into your convos. Copper? Forget about it.
>radio
Can be intercepted by anyone within range. And even though you have encrypted radio, however it is illegal for civilian use (which even then, Quantum computers exist and they can break ANY encryption).

And that's about it, I think.
