There's plenty of us that use Signal and aren't terrorists or extremists. Do you drive a car or use cash? Terrorists do those things also.

That is my point. The road to hell is paved with good intentions isn't it?

Except that on Signal, it has gotten better for terrorists, extremists and criminals with E2EE, and a private, unregulated, untraceable cryptocurrency (MobileCoin) which they can use to fund their activities.

The authorities can easily trace them up with their number plate and catch them trying to move that physical cash anywhere and it can be seized off of them.

Why would they want to go a high risk of losing it all when Signal + E2EE + MobileCoin sounds more of an attractive very low risk route and extremely untraceable form of communication for them to continue to fund their illegal activities from anywhere in the world?

One mans X is another man’s Y. The benefit of this technology is we don’t need to be arbiters. We are all equal and indistinguishable under strong cryptography. Don’t worry. If the bad guys are protected, the good guys are too. It can be no other way.
