    Agreed on the White House comment. I've seen too many say that they think they don't have to worry about anything anymore because of who won the election. The fight for privacy and to restore freedom is far from over. Thanks for your work and teaching.

Not only are they snooping, but they applied a legal gag order to Apple and Google to prevent them from alerting you the customer of this fact. What's that you say? You are using an end-to-end encrypted messenger such as Signal and therefore are safe from said intrusion? Not so fast...
