Signal alone is not enough. If you are an activist, you need a complete self-defense against surveillance. @eff.org has been maintaining these resources for years: ssd.eff.org

Lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime if not in self-defense. If not in self-defense, only non-lethal actions, such as warning shots or disabling fire, are allowed.

"Not yielding to pursuers" or "suspected of carrying drugs" doesn't carry a death sentence.

Block by block community self defense is the only way forward
Buffalo - For nearly a week, immigration agents have targeted a block on the city’s West Side, seeking to detain an Iranian man living there.

His neighbors aren’t having it. Dozens have organized themselves into rotating shifts to do "ICE watch" @indiab.bsky.social
ICE targets Iranian man living legally in Buffalo
ICE is apparently targeting an Iranian family in Buffalo who is in the United States legally. Neighbors have rallied to his defense.

So maybe instead let’s just make sure Russia is defeated in Ukraine?
