Notes

gollark: Signal is good in my opinion, but it's hard to get people to actually use it.
gollark: You could always buy a non-smartphone.
gollark: No?
gollark: If it's running on a remotely modern CPU it's probably using the CPU's virtualization extensions, which leaves you vulnerable to some exploits.
gollark: Just don't expect it to be entirely secure.
