This is why GPG is still an important and valuable tool. You can use it on litteral anything and not relying on single point of failure. Paired with steganography no one will know the message even existed. Yet, not many are willing to learn nor support this anymore.
Edit: use of more conservative wording Edit 2: correct spelling
The problem with GPG is it is painful to use and draws attention. It would be better to use something like Briar, Session, Simplex Chat or Jami.
(Jami hasn't been audited so be careful)
GPG is painful. No doubt. But with the pain it gains agility. Any single apps and protocols enables secure communication, being TLS, Tor, GPG or any one you listed, can draw attention. However, apps are more vulnerable. Their traffic pattern can be analysed and block individually while GPG is protocol agnostic. Look how China GFW had block many E2EE apps/protocols.
In today's world, secure communication apps like SimpleX are more in flavor as it is way easier to use. I used them daily as my main communication method. But it's also good to learn GPG as a backup when those apps fails.
Can you recommend anything to learn about GPG?
