@clock@f.cz @muzicofiel@mastodon.nl @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu If you're going to use it for that sort of thing, you had better have duress words and authentication words. If the dictator captures you they can also use your phone to go after your associates.
Signal does not solve that case but then neither does any other tech. That is a human problem, and a difficult one.
Signal is the best encrypted comms that the ordinary person can use. I have long experience at this and people will not bother.

@mike805@noc.social @muzicofiel@mastodon.nl @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I believe your claim "neither does any other tech" is false. Any other end-to-end encrypted chat that doesn't rely on phone number as "identity" doesn't have this problem of allowing remote account takeover by a dictatorial regime.
