For the vast majority of people, you are right. But for the very few malignant actors, that is the thing they’ll do. It will make ASIO’s job harder as they’re now trying to trace foreign VPN’s, custom-made encryption programs and other stuff that I personally don’t know about (I’m not overly knowledgeable about such computer things).
The >99% of Signal users forced into the sunlight aren’t the threat. It’s the <1% of Signal users who ‘go underground’ that are the threat.

Personally, I’ll spin up a Mastodon (or similar) instance for my kid and his mates.
