Except that signal is blocked by many companies Mobile Device Management. The one that don’t can typically see who has the app installed. This provides a new clever way to maybe whistleblow

Why would you expect any form of privacy on a device you don't own?

I never said I did?

Not "you" necessarily, "one".

I bring it up because you mentioned company MDM blocking signal. The fact that company MDM is active indicates its a company device (if it's not that's an entirely different conversation).

So why would one expect privacy on a device they don't own?

Well more I’m pointing to the idea that you may be trying to whistleblow on said company and this may provide a more succinct way to do so

Use a different device? Use Molly? Use any number of other apps? What's to stop the MDM from blocking The Guardian app?
