@mike805@noc.social @muzicofiel@mastodon.nl @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu No, but dictatorial regime can read new messages, so if a dissident trusts you you won't betray their messages, and dictator reads them, they may be abducted ("arrested") and taken to concentration camp ("jail") and killed ("die") there by deprivation of healthcare.
And you may be abducted ("arrested") and taken to concentration camp ("jail") and killed ("die") there by deprivation of healthcare too after the dictator's henchmen see what topics you were discussing with your contacts.
So Signal's security architecture may IMO indirectly lead to multiple deaths.

@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.
