god, I'm so tired of Wickerbros on the Signal forums complaining that Signal won't save them from themselves.

DON'T CHAT WITH ADVERSARIES. if you give compromising information to someone who wants to turn you in, literally no app on the planet can save you.

Ken Thompson gave a brilliant demonstrate on how you always have to trust someone IN 1983. forty years later, people still need that reminded.

@Yuvalne The #TrustingTrust guy from whose work we then got #DiverseDoubleCompiling?

Anyway yes trust boundaries are cell boundaries. Don't share unnecessary compromising information with outsiders.

@Yuvalne you can be in trouble even if you don't chat with them. Simply by receiving a message from someone who is involved in a legal dispute, your part of the communication channel can be confiscated as evidence. Before they have an opportunity to contact you, you should take care to hide your ID/address/number/whatever.
