Signal is not positioned as a tool for possible TAO targets. Never was, and never will be. Don't use it and please stop spreading the FUD.

- kuschku 10y ago> Signal is not positioned as a tool for possible TAO targets. Never was, and never will be. Eh, that’s exactly what it is currently advertised as. A tool, supported by Snowden, to be used by journalists who are at risk of being under active surveillance by state actors. That is the very definition of a TAO target.
- jospoortvliet 10y agoYou shouldn't use a smartphone if you expect to be TAO. Even the hardware could be compromised. Use a laptop with Linux for anything anyone might want to track...
- kuschku 10y agoThen why is Moxie advertising with Snowden the Signal app as communication for TAO targets? And for non-TAO targets, WhatsApp is just as good as Signal – the users won’t read the source code anyway, and in both cases President Trump gets your social graph.
