it's often not as easy as it sounds to like kind of do this mental inventory and think about all the different ways that like me and my best friend talk or, you know, when I mentioned things to people offhand, we don't have a really good, I think like social practice of, you know, understanding the implication of like sharing other people's information without their permission.

And so like, you know, it's, very impactful but also very difficult and it can't be very individual for all of us to kind of think more carefully about with whom we share things and how we ask people to keep our confidence and how we can even offer each other the ability to like delete things that we don't want to exist indefinitely.

I think one of the biggest sort of existential struggles that that crosses over to where people get support for abortions from like organizations also includes the fact that I know has been discussed many times on this podcast that there is a difference in how much information is kept depending on where you were having a conversation on your phone.

So an SMS text message, those little green bubbles that go back and forth between you and possibly other people who are on iOS and Android combination conversation, your friends with an Android might have a green bubble come back to you. That basically means that that is going as an SMS text message to your phone carrier.

And that means that it's going, quote unquote, in plain text, totally unencrypted to the cell tower. And it's being held by that phone carrier, unencrypted, readable as it is, as you typed it in, as far as we know, forever. It can vary depending on whether or not you move to a different carrier.

I think like no person would really like to know that regardless of what you intend to do with your text messages.
