Microblog post: "Family won't move our group chat to signal. Had to leave. Here comes the guilt trip ๐Ÿ˜’". Screenshot of a iMessage conversation with a contact named Mom: "Please come back to the group chat. We are making thanksgiving plans and we need your input." - "As I said in the group chat, you shouldn't be using iMessage. Signal is better Opsec. Once everyone starts taking that seriously you know where to find me." - "Gam Gam is 92. She barely knows how to use the phone she has." - "She needs to adapt"

    I use encryption whenever I can not so They can't see my ops, but so that the encrypted comms of people who actually do need opsec are less suspicious.

    Indeed, it makes everyone safer. Especially with all the fascism going around people who are completely innocent of any more genuine wrongdoing could still be kidnapped by Ice based on the color of their skin or because they exercise their free speech rights in ways that in decades past would have been respected. The government has gotten less trustworthy and corporations never really were trustworthy so everyday people have the right to protect themselves
