The proposed change to use the signal protocol wouldn't seem to address all the metadata issues with their core tech. Their statement mentioned nothing more than "oops we're a startup", the signal change, and an intention to continue to invest in the "mesh".

It does seem like a nice feature for existing platforms to be able to enable in disasters and at events.

As for protests, maybe some communication is better than none if the government is shutting things down?
