A bit late on the bandwagon for this one, but that whole US thing with the idiots on Signal...

Many of the journalistic reports go in-depth about Signal itself, as if it's somehow to blame.

If you get a monkey to drive a car into a wall you shouldn't report on the car itself, but rather why you gave the monkey the keys in the first place.

@mathzy @spocko Well put! I’ve read several articles today that make a point of saying something like “Signal is end-to-end encrypted but some people believe it may be possible to break the encryption”.

If one of the ends is someone you don’t know then the encryption is completely and utterly irrelevant.

@mdreid @spocko

Completely agree. This is definitely a user issue and has nothing to do with the medium used.

@mathzy That, and the fact that it's illegal for the monkey to drive the car. (Presidential Records Act.)
