Not part of Signal's security model, but trusting people in that chat very much can and should be part of the user's security model. If you don't trust them, why are they in the chat in the first place?
- barryrandall 1y agoIt's not a person in the chat, it's an account. The account is usually controlled by the person associated with it, but you can't assume that it's always controlled by that person.

- colanderman 1y agoYou are conflating "trust in all ways" with "trust to receive the communications in the specific chat they are party to". The former is not relevant.
