Yeah, the 60s had more violence and tensions than now. A civil war requires actually distinct combatants engaged in combat. That doesn't exist as of now.
I mean largely for most of us I hope. But I feel like the tech sector was oversatured because of all the hype of it being an easy get rich quick job. Which for some people it was.
Usually when people have flags it's for fairly innocuous stuff. Poland has a kind of ridiculous law criminalizing the desecration of a flag of any country.
You can use Signal with a different client. Signal being operated within the US has no effect. As of now the jurisdictions that I know of to be worried about are:
The White House both in Trump's first term and in Biden's presidency were pro-encryption. Signal and Tor were US government funded projects. That's not to say the US is great on encryption, and there have been laws in the past that did/were proposed to limit it. But, as of now, it seems that the US is (edit: one of) the most hospitable jurisdictions for encrypted messaging non-profits.
BTW, I'm not saying using Tox is bad, or that Signal is good, I'm just talking about the US jurisdiction part.
Because that's me being an argumentative person, I don't think someone has an obligation to, to prove to external observers they're not a nazi. That's also not their job.
