I know, it’s just a “Someone Is Wrong On The Internet” piece, but that NYTimes piece about Why Signal Is Bad And Privacy Is Bad needs to be refuted in a compact explainer, so here’s mine: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2022/12/29/Privacy-is-OK

@timbray I keep getting stuck on: "Whether law enforcement should tap our phones on the condition that a warrant is obtained is, at the very least, worthy of public discussion. Signal has unilaterally decided for us all." Setting aside the issue of "unilateralism", how is Signal's set of features a unilateral decision "for us all" when -- as he must know -- more people don't use Signal than do use it?
