You are using the same faulty logic the article's author confesses he did.
Though I did not know it then, I was participating in an interview that I was never going to pass.
If you got pulled, assume that they are already suspicious and are now just looking for more rope to hang you with. The question is, how much rope do you have on your person?
Unless you do a proper secure wipe the data is recoverable. In recent versions of iOS, Apple has implemented a method whereby they encrypt the data without a decryption key before "deleting". This should be impossible to recover if we assume some vulnerability in this method hasn't been found and exploited by some Israeli infosec company...again.
If your freedom and safety are on the line, spend the $35 of the dumb burner.
For those who only read the headline and the comment section. (You know who you are).
To be clear, this is not a security issue in Signal. Instead, threat actors are more commonly utilizing the messaging platform as part of their phishing attacks due to its increased usage by governments worldwide.
Almost everything is recoverable unless you do a deep scrub of the onboard storage with special tools, and even then I wouldn't guarantee it. You cannot recover what never existed.
That aesthetic can be found in the Cyberpunk TTRPG books (on which 2077 is based on) going all the way back to the 1980's when only us nerds were into it.
One of Nickelodeon's first staple show was a program from the early 1980's called 'You Can't Do That On Television'. One of its recurring gags was when people got slimed whenever they said "I don't know".
Why would I ever be happy to pay taxes when the vast majority goes towards funding the military, the CIA, the NSA, ICE, for profit incarceration, genocide, etc? If most of my tax dollars went to universal healthcare, infrastructure, libraries, postal service, education, and other socioeconomic safety nets, then I wouldn't have nearly as many objections.
