I don’t know if I’m opening a can of worms here, and I’m still trying to backtrack a lot of history where I was tuning everything out. I keep seeing random swipes at Signal (or the representatives (?)), and I was wondering whether they are founded or just lies.Is it another situation like Lemmy where we just “take the technology and move on”? Thanks!

    And I hope for sure that they’re never quietly forced to change that.

    But again, if there were 3 letter agencies and gag orders involved with Signal, they probably wouldn’t give regular law enforcement or courts any of the data they have.

    Really, my only problem is that with a centralized service, there’s no way to ever know for sure. There’s luckily no evidence of anything nefarious happening at least.

        In an ideal world we also wouldn’t have to worry about communications being listened in on lol

      The code is open source, people look at the code, I’ve dug through their code a fair bit. It wouldnt be quiet, and it would take major code rewrites, it would be pretty obvious
