Look, if intelligence agencies aren't trying to read my phone, they should probably be fired.

I've got to crack them up once in a while.

Hey, guys, check it out.

You've got a banger here.

I think you should view any given messaging system as not whether it's secure or not, but there are degrees of insecurity.

So there's just some things that are less insecure than others.

So on X, we just rebuilt the entire messaging stack into what's called XChat.

Yeah, it's cool.

So it's using sort of kind of a peer-to-peer based encryption system.

So it's kind of similar to Bitcoin.

So it's, I think, very good encryption.

We're testing it thoroughly.

There's no hooks in the X system for advertising.

So if you look at something like WhatsApp or really any of the others, they've got hooks in there for advertising.

Exactly.

What do you mean by hook for advertising?

So like WhatsApp knows enough about what you're texting to know what ads to show you.

but then like that, that's a massive security vulnerability.

Yeah.

Um, cause if it knows if it's got information, enough information to show you ads, it's got enough, it's got, that's a lot of information.
