analysing network traffic wouldn’t allow an adversary to see what you’re sending with Signal
How are they analyzing network traffic with Signal? It’s encrypted. And why does it matter if they know you’re sending a message? Literally everyone using Signal is sending a message.
How are they analyzing network traffic with Signal? It’s encrypted
Again, not my specialty, but signals end to end encryption is akin to sealing a letter. Nobody but the sender and the recipient can open that letter.
But you still gotta send it through the mail. That’s the network traffic analysis that can be used.
Here’s an example of why that could be bad.
Timing of messages. They can’t tell what you send, but can tell when
No they can’t.

Then you’re a terrorist if you use the internet, period
Nearly all internet traffic if encrypted, and for plain browser traffic it’s probably in the 95+%
You access your bank? Terrorist! Email? Terrorist! Lemmy? Terrorist!
