  • @chicawhappa

    3 жыл бұрын

    My thoughts exactly. Suddenly now I am wary of using Signal. Now, Dorsey is clear that it should be a red flag. But I watched an interview of Snowden from last year, and it's clear to me he's a Bullshitter. He said that Obama just wanted to "do some good in the world" (lies, the guy was a warmonger), and there are no aliens (yet, the Israeli guy came out and said there are) and a few other things. Also the way he tries to drag his "uhhh" and modulates his voice, it sends ALL my red flags up. Guy is a disinfo agent, maybe he didn't start out that way, but he is now. I don't trust him at all, and Dorsey even less. Anyway, sorry for the rant.

    I moved my family to Signal long before the WhatsApp freakout. Prior to that, we were using Wire, but that company recently got sold to an American holding company and pivoted to enterprise comms, so I don't trust it anymore. I was using Signal when it was still called TextSecure and was using RedPhone for audio. Its certainly come a long way since then. The real game-changer is when Signal finally implements number-free registration. Until then, the OMEMO protocol over XMPP/Jabber offers that today on any supported server, but it isn't nearly as user-friendly. You can, however run it over Tor on a mobile for increased location anonymity.

    Good review but your are mostly missing the important parts. That being said the platform going rogue and canceling, banning or shutting down accounts is important and that also makes a privacy policy crucial but only IF they follow it to a tee. The other big issue is what happens with the data after it arrives on their signals. The real concern is that many platforms sell or re-sell that data, so being encrypted matters not if a platform is simply making sales for their data.

    Apart from privacy, Signal is pretty boring, which is why they're trying to catchup with Whatsapp features.
