at least not when using a public instance - they could fork the project to keep decryptable records on gov servers where the official gov instance would run

All the people in the chat were high enough that the government for free provided them with secure rooms in their homes so everything would be done through government hardware and encryption programs.

Tell them to fucking move to Canada. OPSEC fails at the border under this current political climate. 😂 intelligence sharing agreement probably gonna get cancelled unless Canada starts paying subscription fees and agrees to more open sharing of Canadian data.

But it sounds like moving out of the country is not an option. If they’re registered then they’re on an excel spread sheet and eventually will be caught. If they’re not registered then let them crash in your attic or garden shed.

If they have a phone not registered in their name then lockdown ios or harden their android.

If their phone is registered then remove/delete the sim card. Lockdown the phone and use the wifi networks which are everywhere for periodic information check ins. Login to a wifi network, use RSS reader to pull down all information updates, log off.

Frankly, long term survival basically requires having a sponsor hide you in an attic.

Take this opportunity to prune your Microsoft data and inject false information. Become a trans man liberal vegan who thinks Trump is great for privacy. Algorithm does need good data after all.

Deletion is probably not necessary. People change all the time, let the computer think you changed into something else.

TLDR? Is this another “all CPU chips are CIA sponsored, gotta homebrew your own motherboard to be safe”
