Hacker News Reader

Let's be honest, I'd rather have NSA snoop on what on my texts than a criminal. Both are bad but NSA is at least slightly better.

The trick is to let nobody snoop on your texts.

Which is, as we can see in the GP, is hard ;).

Whatsapp - broken encryption Google Hangout - NSA Texts - NSA (and others) Facebook Messenger - NSA iMessage - probably NSA, though I don't know.

and so forth. Most commonly used text services are woefully leaky.
