The subject here is end-to-end encryption (where content is encrypted all the way from one client device to another client device), which makes big promises of inviolability.

Seems like the best idea would be dedicated devices you prepare with your co-conspirators up front using only open source components that you've audited and certs you've set up yourselves.
