Why would someone use SecureDrop instead of Signal?
Why would someone use SecureDrop instead of Signal?
Core point is that survey requests prior experience using SecureDrop, then uses Signal, email and/or https-form to communicate. Why? Feel like at very least SecureDrop should themselves be explicitly stating why they opted use alternatives instead of their own service.
Google Voice has always required a phone number for signup, since its legacy design was to forward calls. When creating the account you’re able to allow Google to generate a Google Voice number for the account, disconnect the setup number, and use Google without a phone number.
Why though go to all that trouble when Signal just needs a PIN one-time from a throw away number; at which point Signal allows user to lockout future registrations from that number as long as the Signal account is active per their definition.
Does the foundation claim their application is suitable for such use cases?
They have no choice but to assist the government with whatever info they may have.

I agree SecureDrop is complex (in fact I mentioned that in another comment). It's way more complex than sending a file with Signal or other modern privacy apps, but at least all parts are private and secure (as far as we know) so it's up to the user to not make mistakes. With Signal we know that Signal itself may be compelled to provide information about its users and I think that's why they wouldn't recommend their application for such use cases.
