Tl;DR: Back up your text messages.

Hey guys, I'm going to keep this short.

You need to be backing up all your texts and calls on a weekly basis.

We've all witnessed the Ghomeshi trial now. Had he not backed up the messages from those women, he'd be in prison.

I myself have faced TWO false rape accusations in my 23 years of living. One ruined my Senior year of high school. The other a few years later nearly got me thrown in jail.

My best friend almost lost his acceptance to Law School due to a false rape accusation.

My father almost lost his career in IT of 25 years due to a sexual harassment complaint.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

There are various apps that you can use to back up all your texts, WhatsApp messages and call logs. Get one that backs it up to your Gmail or Hotmail, so it's in the Cloud.

If you want a recommendation, feel free to PM me. I'm not receiving any money or anything for recommending it. I just really don't want people to have to deal with the shit I've faced.

We need to protect ourselves as much as possible moving forward.

EDIT: Actually I'll just leave the link here. I followed this article on how to back up your texts. It lists an app to use: http://www.howtogeek.com/112852/how-to-backup-your-text-messages-to-your-gmail-account/

EDIT: /u/thekonk posted recommending this app for recording your actual phone calls. I've downloaded it and tested it, works perfectly. Another tool in the toolbox boys. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nll.acr&hl=en

Make sure it's legal where you live.
