While the Trump administration works to dismantle the Deep State's surveillance apparatus, millions of Americans are still using text messaging technology that leaves them completely exposed to government snooping and Big Tech data harvesting.

According to new reports, Americans send a staggering 6 billion text messages every single day, with 81% of users relying on their phone's built-in messaging app instead of secure alternatives like Telegram or Signal. But here's what the mainstream media won't tell you: if you're still using traditional SMS messaging, you're basically handing your private conversations over to anyone who wants to read them.

The Deep State's Dream: Unencrypted Messages

Traditional SMS messages are sent completely unencrypted, meaning government agencies, telecom companies, and foreign adversaries can intercept and read your private conversations. Think about it – would you send your personal thoughts on a postcard for everyone to see? That's exactly what SMS texting does.

The solution? RCS messaging – Rich Communication Services – which provides end-to-end encryption and advanced security features that keep your conversations private where they belong.

"Every American deserves digital privacy, especially when we know how the previous administration weaponized federal agencies against conservatives," said one cybersecurity expert who requested anonymity.

RCS messaging offers encrypted communications, read receipts, high-quality photo sharing, and group chat features that rival apps like WhatsApp – all while keeping your data away from Big Tech's prying eyes.

How to Enable RCS Right Now

Patriots can protect themselves immediately by enabling RCS in their phone's messaging settings. On Android devices, open your Messages app, tap the three dots, select Settings, then Chat features, and turn on "Enable chat features." iPhone users can enable RCS through their carrier settings or by switching to secure messaging apps.

While President Trump works to restore our constitutional rights and dismantle the surveillance state, every American can take action today to protect their digital privacy. In an era where Big Tech and government agencies have proven they can't be trusted with our personal information, securing your communications isn't just smart – it's patriotic.

Are you ready to take back control of your digital privacy, or will you keep handing your private conversations to the same people who censored conservatives for years?

I made the switch to encrypted messaging six months ago and convinced my whole family to do the same. It's actually pretty easy once you get started and the peace of mind is worth it.

Good for you! I'm still trying to get my kids on board but they think I'm being paranoid.

The fact that carriers store our messages for years and can be compelled to turn them over without a real warrant should terrify every freedom-loving American.

This is exactly why I don't trust anything Google or Apple anymore. What encrypted messaging apps do you all recommend besides Signal?

Telegram has good encryption and Wickr is solid too. Stay away from anything Meta owns though.

Wake up people! They're building digital profiles on all of us.

My buddy who works in cybersecurity has been warning me about this for years. SMS is basically sending postcards - anyone can read them.

Finally someone is talking about this! I switched to Signal last month after reading about how the government can just request all our text messages from carriers.

Signal is great but make sure you turn on disappearing messages too. Even better protection that way.

The Fourth Amendment is dead if we keep letting Big Tech mine our private conversations for profit and hand everything over to three-letter agencies.
