I understand your point of view. I share that philosophy to some degree. However nothing is a guarantee. But a high degree of certainty is achievable. But that doesn't answer my question. Is there a messaging platform with a panic button that deletes the chat log and call logs from all user involved which can be triggered from any member.
Edit wording and update. This got downvoted because of a misinterpretation of what I was saying when I said high degree of certainty. All I meant was this isn't supposed to a fool proof blanket feature and the world doesn't run on absolutes of course. For instance signal works with a high degree of certainty that youll be secure. I was conveying its highly probable this feature under correct parameters would function correctly. Simply a step in the chain of failsafes. None the less. Thanks for your replies.
I wouldn’t agree with that. Whats stopping the other user screenshotting it? Taking a photo with another device? Or even simply disconnecting from the network so the device can’t even receive the “kill switch command”?
I've done this. Turn on airplane mode to read messages without read receipts.
