Right but Signal has been audited by various security firms throughout its lifetime, and each time they generally report back that this messenger has encryption locked down properly.

This entire article is guessing at hypothetical backdoors. Its like saying that AES is backdoored because the US government chose it as the standard defacto symmetrical encryption.

There is no proof that Signal has done anything nefarious at all.

Signal tells me which contacts in my contacts list has Signal. It also alerts me when someone in my contacts installs Signal.

SimpleX does not.

Nah you hit the nail on the head. I 100% agree with you. Sorry if I came off brash.

I know the recommendations. Im suggesting that everyone take a look at those practices and be sure to have them implemented.

If you’re not printing out the codes on paper and sticking them in a safe deposit box as a remote backup, you’re absolutely risking it.

Where do you store your 2FA recovery codes?

And ban smart TVs!

And ban hardware firmware!

And shipping and receiving software!

And proprietary ore mining operation software!

All of it! They don’t give a fuck!

Bro, who downvoted you?? 😂

How dare you point out the obvious correct choice as an alternative.

4chan

Need more Challenger explosions

Nah, they should rush it

Funny thing about the internet is we can just find a different route. Fucking idiots.

Oh nice. Good deal!

Yeah just make sure you purchase the unlocked version of the phone and you sb good to go then. They’re usually like $20 more expensive than the carrier locked phones.

Thanks 🙏

Is this real?
