“When you use Signal, your data is stored in encrypted form on your devices. The only information that is stored on the Signal servers for each account is the phone number you registered with, the date and time you joined the service, and the date you last logged on.”

This isn’t an ad, I wasn’t paid for this post. Just to clear the air: fuck facebook, fuck elon musk and twitter, fuck anyone who thinks this is a paid advertisement. I wish I was paid for this shit, I just wanted to spread the word. Thank you. 😀 👍

    Signal is shit, its a honeypot. It requires your Phone Number and that the persons chatting have each other in their contacts on device, even if you convince friends not to use WhatsApp, WhatsApp, Google, Apple and every other App, someone installed that can access your contacts knows your Name, Phone Number and People you are connected to.

    Signal relies on NSA Cloud Servers and “security” features of Intel Processore that are going to be broken or probably there already is a backdoor.

    You can’t have it on multiple devices with multiple accounts, its a closed ecosystem and doesn’t have a big community involved with checking the code. They get funded by US Gov. and tried to put obvious backdoors in their desktop apps.

    Use Matrix.org , I also heard good things about SimpleX.

      Yes. Because everyone knows that Moxie Marlinspike is a big fan of the NSA. 🙄

      Dude hates the government as much as I do. No way would he work with them.
