  "textContent": "PurpleDime:\n\n> If you are having an argument with your partner over text and send a harsh reply that they have not seen but that you quickly edited, they would still be able to see your harsh words.\n\nThis is a personal problem, not a Signal problem. If you can’t control yourself enough to not send harsh words that you will regret later then it’s not Signal’s job to help bail you out.\n\nEdit history always seemed to me to be an important log for potentially abusive messages. If someone was sent a threatening message or something constituting harassment, the edit history ensures the message can’t just be redacted/changed to something unremarkable to protect the sender from consequences.\n\nThere is still the deleted message workaround anyway. And while that could also be exploited it seems necessary to keep for people to protect themselves if a phone is stolen or seized or something like that.",
