I was going to say that a protocol that prioritizes permanence and data duplication first is bad for privacy, and that metadata leakage dangers are at an all-time high with the software… But it is the military so maybe those are desirable traits for them. They just aren’t desirable to me.
That’s basically exactly it. Signal is used in scenarios where data being ephemeral is a benefit. For messaging that needs to be secure and lasting, they have DND email, which is extremely secure and can only be accessed from controlled machines in controlled environments.
