I published a friend's very basic guide for gov't workers on how to use Signal for their personal messaging and why it's a good idea: https://a.wholelottanothing.org/a-guide-to-using-signal-for-government-workers/

The funny thing is the first person (that didn't work in digital security) that insisted we only use Signal to talk was my therapist when I first met her 5-6 years ago. I asked her why and she said she didn't want doctor/patient messages to ever be readable by health insurance companies at any point in the future. I obliged.

It's good to know years later, every message we've ever sent was end to end encrypted and not logged anywhere on anyone's servers.

Imagine you had an appt with an oncologist. That software system provider is damn well selling your phone and or email with others to big pharm
