The recent rise of end-to-end encrypted messaging apps has given billions
of people access to strong surveillance protections. But as one federal
watchdog group may soon discover, it also creates a transparency conundrum:

left.

The conservative group Judicial Watch is suing the Environmental Protection
Agency under the Freedom of Information Act, seeking to compel the EPA to
hand over any employee communications sent via Signal, the encrypted
messaging and calling app. In its public statement about the lawsuit,
Judicial Watch points to reports that EPA staffers have used Signal to
communicate secretly, in the face of an adversarial Trump administration.
