Comment on It can be harder to surveil private conversations if everyone just used sign language.

This is under the assumption you are at home, I mean why are you planning anti-government activities in public lol.

I think people should learn sign lanaguve causes it’s cool. But if it’s really for at-home, antigovernemnt planning, why not just put your phone in the other room, or the fridge? Sure, it’s a minor inconvenience to take it out your pocket, but that’s basically nothing compared to spending a few years being fluent enough in sign to hatch plans.

Makes a cooler movie plot tho. Character says pro-government things with verbal speech, simultaneously use sign language to plan a revolt. Government never suspects a thing. Very cinematic I think, lol
