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?

Well yes, anyone can compile its own version of Signal and use it and it will work as long as there aren't some major changes to its communication protocol
