If this pans out to be true, it wouldn&#x27;t be a shock given that they went along with PRISM. If you want e2e privacy, use Signal. You don&#x27;t use Skype, Apple Messaging&#x2F;Facetime (maybe), Telegram, TikTok, Periscope, Facebook Messaging, Google Hangouts, WhatsApp or other new&#x2F;random&#x2F;ubiquitous app because you don&#x27;t know who they&#x27;re buying giving, selling data or getting hacked by.<p>PS: Has anyone used FireChat in a crowd scenario without internet? There&#x27;s no privacy and Bluetooth MAC is identifiable obviously, but it circumvents turning off mobile and internet.
