    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.

            Or it’s just a perfectly normal thing that billions of people do every day?

              Except that signal is blocked by many companies Mobile Device Management. The one that don’t can typically see who has the app installed. This provides a new clever way to maybe whistleblow

                Sources for what, exactly? What is “fantasming”? The title of the article you posted is “Criminalization of encryption”. The Guardian is using encryption to send messages, so why would they be exempt? In fact, why would any internet use at all not be criminalized? It’s all encrypted.

                  So you read the title and you know everything. There is a liste of what they are accusing and their is no mention of internet

                  The elements of the investigation that have been communicated to us are staggering. Here are just some of the practices that are being misused as evidence of terrorist behavior6:

                  – the use of applications such as Signal, WhatsApp, Wire, Silence or ProtonMail to encrypt communications ;

                  – using Internet privacy tools such as VPN, Tor or Tails7 ;

                  – protecting ourselves against the exploitation of our personal data by GAFAM via services such as /e/OS, LineageOS, F-Droid ;

                  – encrypting digital media;

                  – organizing and participating in digital hygiene training sessions;

                  – simple possession of technical documentation.

                  But continue to invent reality. What are fact if not debatable point of view ? That the end for me. Have a great day.

                    I don’t know everything. Just because it’s not explicitly listed today doesn’t mean it won’t be tomorrow. This was just created yesterday. And it does the same thing that all of those listed apps do: facilitates private communication.
