    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

      Why would you expect any form of privacy on a device you don’t own?

          Not “you” necessarily, “one”.

          I bring it up because you mentioned company MDM blocking signal. The fact that company MDM is active indicates its a company device (if it’s not that’s an entirely different conversation).

          So why would one expect privacy on a device they don’t own?

            Well more I’m pointing to the idea that you may be trying to whistleblow on said company and this may provide a more succinct way to do so

              I get that, but it’s more logical to me that of I’m going to whistleblow on a company to not use one of their devices to do it. That way it doesn’t matter what apps are or are not secure, you’re not using their device that can potentially track you.

      Use a different device? Use Molly? Use any number of other apps? What’s to stop the MDM from blocking The Guardian app?
