Happy to see a privacy-focused carrier, and it has better policies than any other carrier out there. But founder is formerly from Palantir and there’s a lot of VC money behind it (not inherently a problem, just flagging).

Thoughts?

    Cell providers such as Telekom, Verizon, Yettel etc. have to provide Lawful Interception support for countries’ law enforcement agencies, and these are implemented in a way, that not even the cell providers is aware when a said subscriber / user is being listened on.

    Otherwise I would guess a cell provider can’t operate in that country if it isn’t willing to provide this support?

      I don’t have an issue with telcos complying with lawful warrants, which is what Lawful Interception requires. but if your telco can only turn over limited amounts of data because that’s all it has access to, then that’s a plus.

      Separately, do you have a source that telcos are unaware when LE is wiretapping? LE would likely need the assistance of the telco to do so and the telco should require the warrant.

        Well I have read it in a 10 year old ppt training at my telco provider company where I work at, which only mentioned this with 1 sentence without any source either, and probably that would have been an internal document too, so unfortunately you have to take my word for it.

      And almost every cell provider that is small is only piggybacking of one of the big 3.
