In my experience, regular police or sheriffs’ deputies can still see details of “expunged” court cases in their system.

No email or text is especially secure, so using this form of communication with someone on a different provider doesn’t expose a person to any unexpected risk. But messaging programs vary wildly in what they expose and how they handle data. Anyone using such a network would have only as much privacy as that provided by the least private service, which is currently nothing. That’s the opposite of what I would want out of a communication software, personally.

I think if you were using a very secure messenger, and talking to someone using a very insecure messenger, that could be a problem.

Same. I was like, wow, that’s really bad behavior while camping.
