They don't use Signal for the encryption; they don't know what encryption is. They only use it for the disappearing messages.

@evan At first I was sort of inclined to think maybe just maybe they at least knew about the E2EE, but the more I think about what you just said the more I think you're right...
They really just used it so it could illegally delete their messages for them didn't they?
