    Because I simply don’t want that in my life? Why have a more complicated life when I can have simpler one?

      Because the “simpler life” involves allowing spooks and marketers to read your conversations and use the data to brainwash and/or Minority Report you.

      You are under attack. Defend yourself.

        I’m well aware, and so is everyone else. And yet we’re all so apathetic about it that we’re not willing to put up with immediate annoyances to safeguard against vauge future potential problems.

        The selling point for Signal for me was that I could tell people that it could do both SMS and encrypted messages, so they didn’t have to add an extra messaging app. It was literally encryption for normies.

        Without that convenience? Fuck it. There’s no immediate value to me or any other normal person.
