Disagree, the most vulnerable who can't leave need our help. Stay.

I've been instructing LGBTQ acquaintances to use encrypted messaging services like signal and to get a VPN that doesn't log like mullvad and that your phone company can track your location without gps on but you should still turn off gps/bt/WiFi/mobile data when you're not using them.

That's good advice, though I may have heard concerning stuff about Signal recently? Maybe not, kinda hard to keep up with everything.

By and large though I think it's wise for folks who could end up targets to do what you're saying, and to get safe communications operational at a minimum, now, while it's still easy to do.

I have some skepticism about whether the worst will come to pass, but it's wise to prepare in ways like this.

Every time people find a supposed security flaws with signal it turns out to be nothing, so signal is probably fine.

Good enough for me, and ultimately "good enough" is about as good as anything is gonna get.
