Mexico Crime Reporting, Anonymous Texting Initiative
Alec Ross describes a new State Department initiative in Mexico designed to allow citizens to report cartel crimes via anonymous text messages. The program aims to bypass the fear of retaliation associated with visiting police stations in high-violence areas like Ciudad Juarez. The hosts express extreme skepticism regarding the technical possibility of true anonymity in such a system and mock Ross's refusal to explain the underlying technology.
