FIOS doesn’t cover any county that doesn’t have a major city in it. That excludes about half the state’s population.

Their whole company is funded by a billion dollar company that’s doing everything in its power to spy on you.

You said a Trump presidency. Do you honestly believe that no other person is capable of being an authoritarian? Guess you don’t remember Obama.

- Comment on Privacy services and non privacy payments options 1 month ago:
You’re right, there is no argument. You merely stated that crypto wasn’t private and I showed where that statement doesn’t have to be accurate.

Sorry I’m not smart enough to understand what you’re inferring.
Corporate tax rates go up, company lays off workers and moves to a less-taxed jurisdiction.
- Comment on Google's call-scanning AI could dial up censorship by default, privacy experts warn 1 month ago:
Its okay if you work for Google, you can just say so.
Or you are naive and gullible.
- Comment on Privacy services and non privacy payments options 1 month ago:
No more complex than opening a bank account, and finding a way to get cash to put in it, whether that’s getting a job, prostitution, selling things, etc.
It sounds complex, but so is becoming a millionaire.
- Comment on Dangerous? Signal Blasts Google Effort to Use AI to Scan for Scam Phone Calls 1 month ago:
Means both parties have to agree to be recorded (usually at the onset of a call).
“Be advised, this call is recorded for quality assurance purposes” at which point you could hang up. The 4th Amendment still applies in America, regardless of what local cops and prosecutors believe. You have a right to privacy in two-party conversations.

Does not matter who is president of the US.
- Comment on Can we all agree to look up a local third party candidate and mention their name to someone you know who is also local? 1 month ago:
Not a shower thought.
- Comment on Amazon Workers Say They Struggle to Afford Food and Rent 1 month ago:
Do you think the corporate world (that effectively runs governments) is going to regress or go back to “let’s all make less money”?

Came here to say that. Somebody better warn the llama.
- Comment on Dangerous? Signal Blasts Google Effort to Use AI to Scan for Scam Phone Calls 1 month ago:
Let’s talk about wiretapping laws and states where two-party consent is required to record a call.
Where I live, I must notify the other party that I am recording. If not, it’s illegal. Also, any audio recorded without consent is not admissible in court.
- Comment on Privacy services and non privacy payments options 1 month ago:
Bitcoin isn’t private. Monero should be what you use for anonymous/private payments.

So if I factory reset, and want to NOT use my current Google login, I can’t? It will only accept the previous login?
What if I want to sell the phone?
Did I read that part correctly?
- Comment on Dangerous? Signal Blasts Google Effort to Use AI to Scan for Scam Phone Calls 1 month ago:
“…locally on device without connecting to the internet”
How would it then report such behavior to Google, without internet?
If it notifies the end user, what good does that do? My phone is at my ear, I don’t stop a conversation when another app sends a notification while I’m on a call.
This will 100% report things in the background to Google.
- Comment on Google's call-scanning AI could dial up censorship by default, privacy experts warn 1 month ago:
You can turn it off all you want, it won’t stop the scanning and collection.
Like turning off Google Location history, its just hidden from your view.
