Why #Signal is being brought up again and again is beyond me… It is an American company, therefore bound to US law, which means NSA involvement, which means guaranteed backdoors to encryption.
The fact that it’s a non-profit or a foundation even says nothing (just look at #OpenAI ). Also US has stopped being a democracy, so every US company is now a vessel for authoritarianism.
Thus, going from WhatApp to Signal does nothing for you.

That’s a very strong assertion and, given an open-source client and a documented protocol, one that is very easy to prove if true. So I presume you can point at what, in the Signal protocol, is a backdoor in the encryption.
In any case, the fact that Americans are very hush hush on any quantum tech advancement, leads me to believe they are already employing their qubits to crack every and all encryption. Whether it’s true or not, I don’t really care, it is however very plausible. In any case every bit and byte of my data that does *not* traverse into US controlled networks is a definite plus in my book.
As has been better posed in another reply, unless you have some evidence of backdoors for end to end encryption of Signal, I’m going to personally dismiss your comments as bullshit.
In any case, even using the signal app, Signal don’t have the scale or the commercial interest to weaponise my metadata in the way that meta can from WhatsApp use.
I’ll stand by my comment that not all is EU, but signal remains a move in the right direction to improve privacy and security and reduce the US economic value extracted from my personal activity.

@david_chisnall @GMac @JensSpahnpasta I agree with @adbenitez
