So your standard for “reasonably secure” communications is Facebook Messenger?

No. You're using the same "if it's not perfect it's worthless" argumentation as GP.

It's not perfect, nothing is. But it makes better compromises than others.

It’s worthless as a “secure messenger.” They can read and store all the messages unless you use the E2E mode.
