I've been goofing off on Tiny Tower (no judgment)

and I didn't know that you could actually talk to other users using Bitbook. Now, all my "friends" are merely people who posted on reddit that they return visits, and accordingly, all the chatter is variations on "Sorry I haven't returned visits, I've been busy!" and "I'm about to rebuild, anybody want any valuable bitizens?" but I can't help thinking about somebody who values privacy but has no means to ensure it resorting to Tiny Tower or something similar to hide their messages from prying eyes. I doubt messages are saved anywhere, because it's a silly cell phone game.

As a story conceit, it's almost charming. If you think too hard about the situations that might force people to do this in real life, not so much.
