And this is very much not limited just to signal. No matter what software, protocol or any other way you use to communicate, both you and the receiving entity/entities are the weakest link by a long shot. I don’t expect even my closest friends to hold our everyday conversations secret if for whatever reason their wellbeing was threated in any way. And even if I did there’s always other options, like targeted social engineering, to get trough pretty much any reasonable safety concerns on digital communication.
Of course in everyday life if our chat histories were publicly available it would not be too big of an issue, but it’s still something worth keeping on mind when interacting over any digital or any other written medium.
