Oh signal is for sure going to be targeted soon, “they are doing illegal things on it, must be banned” = can’t have the proletariat be talking to each other in a way we can’t monitor.
I don't have any issue with Signal being effectively a free for all, that's just the price of privacy and like, if people want to talk about criminal activities they'll always find a safe way to do it.
But then when it comes to WhatsApp, they tell us it's fully private and end-to-end encrypted with no compromises (apart from a report button that sends messages from your phone to HQ) and if that's true they have no knowledge or control about shady shit being discussed.
It's like, they either are secure and therefore there's nothing stopping anything that's happening on Signal happening there or they aren't and can see your messages despite insisting they can't. They can't win at one without losing at the other, like, it'll be interesting to see their response if a high-profile crime is or isn't stopped and it comes out that things were organised via WhatsApp.
