Signal provides:

- Excellent protection against third party interception of communications (wiretapping).

- Limited protection against compromised (hacked) or lost devices

- No protection against certain common usage mistakes (accidentally including a reporter in your large group war planning chat).

@x0 No, Signal is not as "secure as any government solution", because it lacks specific features for protecting classified material from going to the wrong places. Signal does a good job with the cryptography, but there's much more to it than that. Signal lacks security labels, authenticated identities with clearance levels, policy enforcement, etc. Those features make it virtually impossible to add a reporter to your war planning thread.
