I'm a Signal user and hugely appreciate their push to bring encryption to the masses.
But when it comes to the government, I believe the ideal situation is that there is a literal live-stream of everything they are doing, at all times. Government officials are public servants. Sure, if you're discussing an ongoing military operation, keep it behind closed doors temporarily. But the vast majority of what they're doing should be made accessible to the public in real-time.
The only reason not to do so is to hide lobbyism, partisanship, and corruption from the public eye.
