People should just know by now, if you need to communicate something in private, you should just never use any electronic device that uses public networks. All of these "secure" tools that are being used must be understood in that context. They are "secure" against honest people.
What I mean by that is that it's a lot like your home or apartment. Sure, you should lock your door and turn on your alarm system when you leave. At the same time, if you know there are three letter agencies surveilling you, it's probably wise to go ahead and assume they broke into your home and placed bugs in it despite your security precautions.
Because they have.

If you need content protection to keep dick picks out of NSA office circulation, Signal is probably the best. For metadata-free chat, Ricochet and Briar are currently the top duo.
