perhaps a dumbphone is actually safer because of the *lack* of encryption. no fake sense of security.
the thing with smartphone security is that even if you fork off the cash to set up a shiny GrapheneOS with purely open source apps etc., 95% of the people you're sending those perfectly encrypted messages to, are running Apple or Google services, and thus if the cops are onto you, they can just screenshot your messages anyway. to say nothing of hardware backdoors I'm sure we'll find out about 15 years from now. and every activist group on Signal probably has at least 1 informant, etc.
with a dumphone you *know* you're being listened, which increases the chances of you shutting the heck up.
still there's something to be said for a degree of security by obscurity—bugging phone calls is trivial and an operation cops are used to, and while I'm sure the State has ways to pry open your Matrix chats, it's probably reserved for things they care about a lot. heck half of the time your recipient can't open them either lmao
