Thanks for your interesting reply. Some of this is what I was getting at with "fundamental" and "practical":
> all communication must be on secure government hardware
> the entire security infrastructure must be operated by the government
...only matter practically, if the Government hardware and infrastructure are guaranteed to be more secure than the alternative, also considering the fallibilty of the users. And while I appreciate that iPhones and Signal likely aren't infallible, I'm not sure we know what level of absolute trust to place on Government-supplied hardware or infrastructure provided by whoever got the contract?
