    I understand where you are coming from, but the encryption is not secure if somebody else holds your password.

    Then there is the other issue of Elon Musk and Donald Trump, or Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson, or some other entity the likes of Russia, and now America promote, and bang goes journalist’s and activists’ anonymity. It would be great to have it both ways, but it isn’t possible.

      Fair points. Also I guess practically big companies like Apple would never allow a situation where their encryption is compromised while encryption on smaller platforms like Signal isn’t. Apple etc would spend billions lobbying so such a situation never happens.
