Link to article from main Lemmy❤️ developer about Signal privacy. Mostly fair points. I kinda distrust so centralized services but basically we have no other options (Matrix is buggy in many aspects). What can you say about this article?

    My question to those who think Signal is a honeypot is when will they trigger it? Signal gets subpoenaed fairly often amd it always returns next to nothing. If signal is a CIA project, they probably would have used it by now.

      yup. Now i don’t think it is honeypot. Simple reason: it is pointless. Government already has WhatsApp. Why bother to create another messenger with very small userbase to spy on 0.05% people on earth in such a difficult way: encryption, different anti-spy practices?) It is not rationale.
