The Signal messenger and protocol.

We’ve already seen Jessica Burgess, who was a mother in Nebraska, who was charged with a felony for helping her daughter access reproductive care after the state suddenly banned reproductive care.

That's such a terrible example. She was 7 months pregnant! That's illegal to abort in every state unless the baby is found to have some horrible disease. There was no sudden ban of that. I'm pro choice, but not pro killing an unborn baby that's developed enough to live outside the womb.

In addition, the mother and daughter told authorities they had messaged about it before the state sent a subpoena to Facebook. It had nothing to do with surveillance. Bringing up this case as an argument for encrypted messaging will only make enemies of you. What the heck was she thinking? Did she not know the details of the case at all?
