The scariest part of this recent news is that TM Signal seem(ed) to be interoperable. People using TM Signal could interact with actual Signal users. How are you to know whether or not your groups have people using bastardized versions of Signal? Are things like Session interoperable with Signal?

No. Even if they were, the are plenty of ways to capture the messages.

Definitely. Capturing the messages isn't my concern though as much as interacting with non authentic clients

What is your worry about non authentic clients?
