Comment on It can be harder to surveil private conversations if everyone just used sign language.

  Phones are usually in your pocket. If you wanna leave it on a table, just put some random paper on top of it. How do you easily stop sounds from going to your phone? Probably not as easy as just covering up the camera.

  This is under the assumption you are at home, I mean why are you planning anti-government activities in public lol.

    I think people should learn sign lanaguve causes it’s cool. But if it’s really for at-home, antigovernemnt planning, why not just put your phone in the other room, or the fridge? Sure, it’s a minor inconvenience to take it out your pocket, but that’s basically nothing compared to spending a few years being fluent enough in sign to hatch plans.

      Makes a cooler movie plot tho. Character says pro-government things with verbal speech, simultaneously use sign language to plan a revolt. Government never suspects a thing. Very cinematic I think, lol
