People who do click on the wrong "Signal" probably clicked on many other wrong things, too. Their Security is not existent anyway, even if they accidently use the official Signal build.

So because a user clicked on a wrong thing we should completely abandon them and ignore all their security and privacy needs?
Nope, but we should not limit the freedom of other users, who know what they are doing, because of some, who do not.
I heavily disagree. If we want to protect as much people as possible we will have to limit the freedom of some users to do as they want because other users will accidentally or intentionally abuse the freedoms given.
Not limiting freedom of the user because they know what they are doing at the expense of others is maximizing the protection and freedom of a small group, not society as a whole.
