Meshtastic uses end-to-end encryption, without any central authority. There are circumstances under which that encryption can be compromised.
The strongest thing Meshtastic has going for it right now is obscurity. No one is likely to be looking at it, to say nothing of tracking and decrypting it. You can pretty much guarantee that your cell is being identified if you attend any kind of protest. There’s also a good chance that all of its voice and digital traffic is being intercepted and analyzed. Until and unless Meshtastic becomes far more common, it provides a good alternative.
Nah they really aren’t obscure. There have been publicly released FBI powerpoint slides that link meshtastic radios to “extremist” groups. They’ve already been on the radar and targeted for years now.
