We have not all done this. We are not all breaking the law and trying to hide our government actions in a group chat.

I have definitely never sent a text or Signal message to the wrong person or group as well. It's actually not hard to simply look at the recipient(s) before you compose a message. You even have the opportunity to double-check the message recipient(s) before you hit Send.

I'm gonna be an age-bigot for a moment and say this is mostly a problem for Boomers and Zoomers.

Agreed. I'm in my 40's, and in my life I couldn't do anything wrong. When I was five, I took batteries from a Blockbuster on accident and cried until I returned them in fear of doing something wrong. I can't understand the idea of not being blunt/honest and spending the extra time to deceive anyone.
