    exactly. signal was chosen precisely because it is widely considered to be secure and, more importantly, outside the purview of any mechanism which would hold them to account.

    This is not the only chat group on Signal, I’d wager.

    absolutely.

    still, this is a reasonable boost for signal and briar (or similar) as a backup.

        oh, agreed. these people should have been nowhere near it - as evidenced by their incredible fuckup.

        as an average consumer, and barring binary or device compromise, I do trust signal and a few others to traffic info that could incarcerate or worse.
