That's what a security model is for, the best you can do is difficult security/privacy not absolute or perfect.
I don't get this "totalitarian state" b.s., subverting legitimate government's policies seems silly and dangerous. If I was a dictator or something I would have people's phone's searched randomly by street cops, if they see signal then you are a subverter and a traitor so off with your head. I can't imagine security against that.
Security and privacy against nation state actors are one thing but against your nation state actor is a whole different ball game.

- darawk 4y agoYa, that's right, but there are cryptographically secure forms of plausible deniability, commonly known as "deniable encryption": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deniable_encryption https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deniable_encryption
