@nprofile1q... Maybe this is a situation that is unique to your legal jurisdiction (Australia?), but Signal in other areas doesn't have KYC requirements. Perhaps your government has weakened the security of apps via legislation, but in areas where that hasn't happened (yet :blobcatgrimacing: ), I'd say Signal is still one of the more secure options.

@nprofile1q... If your adversary has read-write access to your device RAM, there isn't a whole lot of security you can even guarantee there.

Is there any messenger app that could prevent an attack from a privileged process on the same device? I wouldn't think so.

@nprofile1q... Lol, the article vastly oversells the capabilities of law enforcement, as usual. Sounds like a police raid scooped up some phones with chat apps on them. Then they just ... used those phones to send messages to group chats. It's a far cry from saying the apps themselves are insecure. If you don't have physical security over your device (and, crucially, the devices of your chat members), then you have no security at all.

@nprofile1q... Why the translations in Russian?

@nprofile1q... Ooof, yeah. Cars scare me now. I don't know what I'll do when I need to buy another one. They're basically all terrible now.
