This Text Message Will Self Destruct

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the should-you-choose-to-accept-it dept.

mwilliamson writes "Silicon.com is reporting that Staellium UK (cell provider) has created a protocol in which text messages disappear after 40 seconds. This, of course, relies on the implementation of the protocol in the device used to display the message. They're touting a future roll out for photos as well, and service in the US."

    Only terrorists would want a text message system that will erase itself! Leaving no evidence of the message in history? Leaving no traces for law enforcement to track? This is not good... Our commander-in-chief-of-the-world, George.W will not approve.
