SESSION vs SIGNAL

 

Signal is a popular messaging app that is widely regarded as being private, and compared to Messenger it is, but the big issue, the main reason it can never really be a privacy app, is that it requires a phone number to set up an account.

 

An alternative to Signal is Session, which is in many ways very similar to Signal, in fact it nearly looks identical because it's an open source hard fork based on the Signal code. But the big difference is that it doesn't require a phone number, so a Session account can actually be anonymous.

 

Session is not as popular as Signal yet because it's fairly new and not many people have heard of it. But it's easier to set up an account on Session than it is on Signal.  It doesn't require a phone number, and it doesn't ask anything about you. 

 

A new account can be rapidly set up not just on a phone, but also using a Laptop, a PC, or a tablet, running Windows, Android, Mac, or Linux operating systems.

To install it you can get it from any of the app stores, but better yet go directly to the Session website. This is preferable because by not logging into an app store you remain anonymous - https://getsession.org/

 

Initially Session had several drawbacks, but these have now been addressed.

 

It previously had a size limit of 10 on encrypted groups, but that has now been increased to 100 which is hopefully enough for most groups. 

 

It was originally set up in Australia which is considered a major security risk (as is NZ) but they have now moved to Switzerland - https://getsession.org/blog/introducing-the-session-technology-foundation 

 

And Session also had a reputation for being buggy in 2023 when it was new, but it seems to have really improved in the past year. I have had no problems with it, apart from the confusion of needing to set up a seperate account for each device. 

 

It won't install on Windows 7, which is only an issue for around 3% of desktop users these days, but I've found it works really well on Linux.

 

YOUR ACCOUNT ID

 

There is really only one new thing to keep in mind when using Session - because unlike Signal it is not using your phone number or the phone numbers of your contacts, to set up the initial link you have to exchange your account ID for the first contact. This is the minor inconvenience that allows the whole platform to be totally private.

 

The account ID is a 72 character code that will look similar to this one (this is not an actual code but just an example):
  06b2451d1bc973a57021bf76f353306c7sfc7ec891eb29ef4997bd82473300e00b

 

Your account ID is not high security and it's OK to give that out to everyone you want to contact. You also get a recovery code which is a random generated series of 13 words, and that on the other hand needs to be kept private. Keep that code secure and don't share it with anyone.

Who is behind Session?

Session is part of the Loki Foundation, a non-profit organization without a permanent seat. The CEO is Simon Harman. Even though the project is not profit-oriented, he wants to monetize Session. Parts of the infrastructure are based on a block-chain network that mines its own currency, $LOKI.

The network provides important infrastructure for anonymizing its users, including an onion router to hide your IP address. Neither your counterpart nor the Loki Foundation can determine your location.

So if a state were to obtain a court order to inspect the session servers, investigators would find nothing but meaningless session IDs and TOR-IP addresses. None of this information would allow us to draw clear conclusions about the identity of the messenger app's users.

Privacy features of Session

    Users can generate a Session ID with a private key to start an account

    Session doesn’t require phone numbers.

 

    The chat platform doesn’t collect any data, and therefore a data breach is impossible.

 

    Messages go through an onion routing network, removing traceability.

    Session is an open-source program, so you can verify everything.

 

    It’s censorship resistant thanks to its decentralized network, therefore also harder to shut down

 

REVIEWS

 

Here is a good review of Session on the Restore Privacy website. It answers a lot of questions, but keep in mind that it was written in April 2024, and  the concerns about Australian privacy are no longer an issue - https://restoreprivacy.com/secure-encrypted-messaging-apps/session/

 

 

I have found Rob Braxman's Youtube channel really helpful for learning about privacy. Here is his video about Session, which he recommends highly.

ONLINE PRIVACY

 Lately I've seen even more discussion about all the AI spyware that is currently being rolled out. But most people seem to be blissfully unaware that pretty much everything they do online is being monitored and recorded by big tech companies like Apple, Google and Microsoft, along with advertising companies, and deep state agencies like the CIA.

A common response upon being informed that they are being spied on, is to just accept it as "normal" and pretty much give up even trying to maintain their privacy. But as we saw with the covidhoax and the death jabs, unless people take responsibility for their own freedom, the deep state plans to enslave and kill us. 

Yes it is possible to maintain your privacy in a surveillance state, but not if you are using a regular "smart" phone or a modern commercial operating system. You can actually keep using computers, phones and the internet, if you want to, and maintain your privacy, but you will need to make the effort to stop using big tech spyware and switch to using different technology. 

If you want any privacy, Google, Microsoft, and Apple are total no go zones. They are all spying and have been for years, but their latest tech is next level. An example is Windows 11 which has a new "feature" called Recall that is essentially taking a screenshot every five seconds and using AI to analyze it. 

If anything, the AI on recent Apple I-phones is even worse, but some normies seem to be more open to the idea that Microsoft is spying rather than Apple, so callinng out Microsoft is often a good entry point to the whole AI rabbit hole.

Normies are so addicted to their spy-phones they will pay thousands of dollars to be tracked, recorded, and monitored by the deep state. On average, an Android smartphone sends data to Google 90 times a day and an iPhone communicates with 51 servers per hour. 

So what do I recommend doing to maintain privacy? Here are some good first steps:

Switch to using a Linux operating system such as Linux Mint 

Stick to using Free Open Source Software (FOSS) such as GIMP

Use a "de-googled" phone such as a Brax 3

 Use a privacy browser such as Brave or Floorp (& especially avoid Chrome)

Use privacy mail services such as Proton Mail (& especially avoid Gmail)

Use online aliases and avoid using your real name, especially on platforms like Facebook

USING AI TO CREATE NPC’s

Mind programming is being done in all sorts of ways by satanic globalist entities like Gooble (who own this Blogger platform), and sometimes we tend to miss all the subtleties. So it's important to keep pointing them out.

Being asked by AI to "Verify you are human" is fairly galling, an inside joke that psychopaths like Bill Gates must get a few LOLS from...

And so is being constantly asked to "SUBMIT" online - as with all this mind programming, the choice of words is very important, but normies are living in a sort of trance, and are oblivious to it all. DO NOT SUBMIT TO ANYTHING.

Something I've really been noticing lately with all the random freezing and grey listing of my blogs, is the way AI is being constantly used to temporarily censor online content. It's not like they are seriously trying to scrub this content from the internet. We are not talking about Brigitte Macron's PENIS here!

This is how one of the forms of mind programming works. If you express an opinion, any opinion about anything, someone will be offended, possibly even an AI someone, so you will be deemed to be violating "community standards" and will be censored.

If you are are spineless NPC normie gimp, as a pack animal, from that point you will want to avoid being punished, and so will no longer express any opinions. And that is how AI is being used to create NPC's.

DEAD INTERNET THEORY

The "theory" that the entire internet is controlled by AI is being described in the mainstream programming media as a "conspiracy theory", which pretty much proves it to be true straight away, but let's face it, the whole thing is blatantly obvious and has been for years. 

We now have totally controlled search engine results from all the major search engines, none more so than Google, and social media is increasing dominated by AI, none more so than Youtube. 

It is estimated that around half of all internet traffic is AI, but Youtube clearly has far higher levels than that. In some cases (such as Taylor Swift videos, for example) hundreds of millions of hits are being generated by AI, and it's pretty obvious (because of the endless repetition of key phrases) that the majority of the comments across the entire Youtube platform are AI.

As far as the content itself goes, it's not even a secret that the videos are being done using AI. With their ghastly droning voices and absolute butchering of pronunciation, the whole platform is becoming an AI joke.

ODYSEE are talking about setting up a new blogging and website portal, and if they can provide a free, uncensored blogging platform, I'm keen. 

https://odysee.com/@Odysee:8/unveilingportalrequestearlyaccess:6

My WordPress blog dropped from over 2000 hits a day in 2018 to less than 100 hits a day in 2021 (when I was doing a lot of posts about the covidhoax), so I eventually just gave up on it. At this point I'm using Blogger because it's easy to use, and my Blogger blog does get about 300 hits a day, even though Google who own Blogger are the ones who are grey listing me.

If Odysee come up with a suitable platform I will start mirroring my Blogger posts across to a new account on it, with a view to moving across, because let's face it, 300 hits a day is nothing to write home about.

"Think of Portal as a decentralized WordPress - but with a far bigger mission: to help create a truly open media ecosystem, free from the gatekeeping and algorithmic distortions of Web2. We hope through Portal that we can revive the spirit of the early internet - a time when independent voices could thrive, communities formed organically, and discovery wasn’t dictated by opaque algorithms. 

In contrast to the eerie uniformity described in the Dead Internet Theory - where bots flood the web and authentic human expression feels drowned out. Portal lets you build websites that belong to you - not to platforms, algorithms, or tech oligarchs."

UNCENSORED ON FACEBOOK

It's often said that Facebook keep censoring everything - but to tell the truth I hardly ever seem to be censored any more - here are some recent posts on my #2 account - TOM ANDERSON:

 The sort of content that FB is censoring is not obscenity (that is mostly fine) or even exposing "vaccines" or the Covidhoax (that is no longer a problem, and the AI now doesn't give a toss if you say viruses don't exist or that all vaccines are death jabs), but just try discussing BLACKC0CK, or LARRY PINK, or anything to do with ISRAHELL or the JUICE, and you are playing with fire.

But I seem to get away with posting about most of the sacred cows these days
