No you don't - no-one's forcing you to use it.

At the end of the day, you have to trust someone, whether it's a tech vendor, a software project lead, or even the person you're conversing with. What's important is that you get to continue to consciously exercise that choice.

I choose to use signal, and have no interest in this random crypto nonsense thingie, so I'll choose to not use that bit.

I was phrasing that unclear, I meant that you have to trust Intel if you use Mobilecoin.

Why wouldn't you be able to exercise that choice?
