With ever more Supreme Court fuckery going on I'd like to help comrades in my local org be better secured against potential breaches.

Ideally I'd like to recommend 1-3 options that meet these needs:

  • Easy to use
  • Can be used on phones as well as mobile devices
  • Doesn't retain any network traffic data

Any ideas on what options we have?

Great points! Would be good to also get everyone on the same e2ee messenger app, like Signal.

matrix is almost certainly more secure, although not without its own problems

I wouldn't call matrix more secure. The amount of metadata it leaks can be enough to get you arrested or killed. It's objectively better when communicating with unknown people and better for groups but I'm not sure it's a better replacement for SMS. The CIA funding isn't a nail in the coffin because the US government has a vested interest in keeping operatives safe with non-incriminating technology, such as tor.

fair enough, for sure use case should be considered with this stuff and signal is probably "good enough" for most people who aren't actively planning to overthrow the government/do terrorism or whatever
