Folks, conversations occur between people. If the other party turns over the conversation (or has phone confiscated without deleting messages) there is no encryption solution to this. Also that has nothing to do with Signal. Or encryption, really.

Something similar with Manafort: he sent messages and the recipients turned them over. In his case, he was also backing them up to iCloud in plaintext (
) but the key point is the same. If the other party isn’t willing to/can’t keep your secret, encryption is not relevant.3 replies 32 retweets 100 likesShow this thread -

Makes post-hoc discovery hard/impossible but there’s always screenshots. Encryption isn’t a magic amnesia potion https://twitter.com/samueloakford/status/1005099576603357184 …

If you’re messaging people, you’re messaging people. Encryption is to thwart easy mass surveillance from a distance. Is noy relevant to all the other issues. Does not make them magically disappear!https://twitter.com/thegrugq/status/1005107869702750208 …
