Since every single messenger has backdoors used by the feds, I am wondering, are any low profile criminals using private messages in old games to sell shit? Has that ever been a thing? not really asking for a friend, I just think it would be fucking funny
>>

i have wondered about this too. there's a bunch of dead valve game servers. but that is a very cumbersome way of chatting with people. just use a website like chatzy
>>
It's more common than you think and a large reason for adding message scanning to games under the guise of profanity filters.
>>
>>109036622
How come nobody rolled their own fully encrypted messenger with no backdoors?
The simplest terminal only messenger with the best encryption out there.

Chemfag here, mostly not.
Back in the day you could solicit shit via Mii Plaza status (weebs and gamers generally feel obligated to be militant teetotalers but it's hardly that cut and dry) but nowadays it's usually a mix of normie messengers, gay hookup apps and Simplex.
Snapchat is notoriously tardy with complying with even legitimate subpoenas, Grindr is just huge and Simplex/Briar are Good Enough™ for midscale distribution.
What you need to understand is that "backdoored" doesn't mean as much as you think it does.
Can "the government" access your chats?
Yes. Doesn't matter what platform unless you use OTP and DIY networks.
Do "people with a primary interest in catching consumers and small to midscale sellers" have access to every backdoor?
Fuck no.
The government hates you and it hates due process but it also hates itself.
The NSA doesn't give two flying fucks about how illegal their spying is but they'd rather see a million dealers go free than give unwashed beat cop goyim even a single hint for free.
Who did 9/11 is up for debate but it's a documented fact that the reason it wasn't warned against is because glowniggers are jealous little girls who consider secrets more important than the lives of the citizenry.

>yeah bro it's all compromised
>criminals continue using actually encrypted messengers no problem
>just ignore that bro it's all compromised

I do know a guy who did that.

>>109036622
Yes, the PS3 messaging system used to be popular for that

trvthnvke. i think this is why certain high profile crime cases appear to move a lot slower than you think considering how wide their surveillance capabilities are. if they magically caught people a few hours after a crime, then it would be obvious
>>
>>109037022
i dont know jackshit about selling that kind of funny stuff but that sounds bout right
thanks for insight really, cool read

In the movie four lions they use an obvious parody of club penguin to communicate.

>usind old games with possible compromised servers to share private info (that is 100% not encrypted too)
Kek.
Here's the deal anons, XMPP for E2E encrypted communications and ease of use, simpleX if you're a schizophrenic mutt that thinks the CIA will get you just by knowing your contact + it's E2E encrypted too.
Honestly? Use XMPP because OMEMO is going to receive post quantum encryption (the E2E encryption thingy or something)

Heard of it. Afaik, you're mostly late to party as it was fixed. Not everywhere though.

A coworker once told me how they played this obscure android card game, crazy jacks or something like that, and it had a ton of arab players on it talking in code or something. Some other stuff too that made it seem like it was some kind of ISIS hang out, this was in like 2015 or 2016 or so, I think she told me that either when their was big terrorist activity going on like that stuff that happened in France back then there was either a lot of activity or no activity on it. I don't remember.

But yeah thats what I have to say about that.
