NSA gets massive amounts of text messages through it's Dishfire program.
Users should not assume they're excluded just because the program had
limited scope of 200,000,000 SMS per day -- four years ago.

The content is unavailable in both data channels, yet you get better
protection against metadata analysis by routing TextSecure traffic
through Tor.
