Local spoke about their need to do this and use code names to avoid being followed and harassed by ICE after attending a protest. Probably shouldn’t have done that on a televised city council meeting. But also, Americans have a right to free speech and organized protest. Dark times.
You cannot create a scenario that illegally entraps and puts law enforcement in harm’s way.
You don't understand - cocks gun - we are the victims here...
Probably the FBI stole someone’s phone, or they’ve joined the chat since the start.
Folks better start doing anti canary trap tactics. Once you shake the feds out, you can start composting.
Is it even possible? I mean, you need to share the chat, and probably have it publicly joinable.

I am depressingly aware.
Forks exist, but Cwtch hasn't gone post quantum encrypted yet.
Are there any chats they can't investigate at this point?
there's no such thing. even if you have a magical app that is impossible to hack/crack, if there are more than 10 people in the chat, assume there's at least one narc
