      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. 🙄https://twitter.com/kendilaniannbc/status/1004918342698852358 …

      Everyone who relies on Signal should take note that Signal conversations are referenced in the Wolfe indictment.

      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.

      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 …

      @samueloakford ephemeral messaging is to keep your own device clean. Once you have sent a message it is no longer in your control and there’s nothing you can do about except proactive minimization of the utility of the: message; content, and metadata.

          Even on apps that notify of screenshots, you can always take a picture with a second device. Listen folks: don’t ever, for any reason, anywhere, anyhow, to anyone, send things, over any medium, and I mean this, no matter how...pic.twitter.com/M2bKSIryRN

          As I said elsewhere, crypto is hard. Getting users to take operational security seriously is harder.
