RE: AnoPhone (A2X) - The Cryptophone with Complete Secure Design
Great phone for crypto lovers and people who gives privacy extreme importance. It is furnished with cool features like encrypted messaging, ip leakeges etc. The only concern is it can be used for illegal activities which is a big threat for our surroundings.
Because people already don’t use Wickr, Signal, WhatsApp combined with burner numbers linked to anonymous prepaid debit cards [connected to prepaid SIMs] for that, right?
What do you think is most important here?
That some idiots can not live with rules or that rights activists and journalists can operate securely in authoritarian regimes without needing to fear that reporting on human rights atrocies in the Philippines or Saudi Arabia results in them getting arrested, possibly executed, because their mobile device can be tracked via GSM towers?
Agreed. I am not against the usage for right activities like journalist or human rights activists who sacrifice their due to poor security offered by their mobile. My only concern was it usage in terrorist activities.
They are known to dump devices every few days. Additionally, many terrorist groups are solidly funded so they can always resort to roaming from countries where prepaid SIMs don't require ID registration.
No system will ever be bullet proof and that shouldn't be the focus either. Minimizing risk matters most and sometimes need to compromise and decide which is the more important element.
Terrorist activities yearly cause less casualties than cars, alcohol, and tobacco do on their own. They are not even a statistical blip on the radar when totalling those three and also throwing Big Pharma in the mix.
I think we should continue to fight terrorists but gotta maintain a healthy perspective. After all, terrorism thrives on causing fear.
Which is exactly what is displayed here.
