What's the problem with tor + PGP?

[tptacek]

Metadata, forward secrecy, and the fact that any usable implementation in a web page will have server-dependent security.

[nanch]

What are good alternatives for communicating with somebody then?

[tptacek]

A secure messenger like Signal.

[carterehsmith]

Uhhhh.

Sure, use Signal, and Tor, and others -- if you want your communication to be preferentially screened by every single three-letter agency.

BTW this is not to disparage any four-letter agencies, eg. GCHQ. They do awesome work, which I do appreciate very much.

I hope they enjoy reading my wife and I discussing dinner plans and my reminders to my son to do his homework.

[carterehsmith]

Not sure what you are trying to achieve here. Do you want to stick it to the Man?

The software that is processing your communications will spend extra 0.01 seconds analyzing the data. Is that some kind of victory for you or something?

I started to make a witty post implying that you just signalled for some sort of terrorist attack using an encoded message, then I checked the calendar and posted this instead.

I've been experimenting with Matrix.
