I’ve been on 1337x, ABC, torrentquest, eztvx, msearch, and pretty much all of the other sites on the megathread, both for “greatest treasures” (the general purpose section) and the movies & TV section specifically. Yet, the show that my wife and I want to watch is nowhere to be found in any of these. We’re confused why, as it’s not exactly an unpopular show.

Despite it not seeming to exist in a torrent format anywhere, among many other shows, it is forbidden both here and elsewhere to ask for help on finding a specific title. I was just hoping to learn the reasoning why. Is it just because the forum would be flooded with people asking for titles instead of taking the time to dig through the resources? What are people supposed to do when they do dig through the resources then?

    There’s no proof of them actually breaking their own encryption.

    Further, if that piracy room on matrix is public, it obviously doesn’t matter that the communication on it is private. It’s still a public place.

    Lol, lots of downs with no comments indicating why I’m supposedly wrong about either claim. Amazing what weak bottom feeders some people are.

      the matrix room may be public, but when you choose someone to talk to via dm, at that point encryption matters. Of course, you shouldnt really trust that random person from the matrix room, but it being an encrypted chat reduces the risk somewhat.

        The public room being encrypted does nothing. Source: I work for the FBI and I’m in that room.

        I don’t know what dms have to do with it?

        The amount of incidents I’ve logged at work and home where messages talking about specific things I’ve never said aloud or mentioned elsewhere that have resulted in ads is insane. There’s no way they don’t, unless they read your messages before they encrypt them.

          ~~Assuming you’re talking about Whatsapp, why did you give a chat app microphone permissions? Because if you didn’t, you’re saying that the entire android permissions scheme is broken which I don’t buy.

          My WhatsApp has exactly one permission: notify

          It can’t read my contacts, or my pictures, or my phone logs, or my location, or my Bluetooth, or my mic. It can send and get messages and tell be about it.~~

          Edit: I misread you said you also didn’t say it aloud (this is another common story I’ve heard)

          encrypting matrix chats just protects one step of the process, your data may be leaking in various other ways.
