i've just seen a comment in a post, in this very community, saying people trust signal because of missinformation (from what i could undertand).
if this is true, then i have a few questions:
-what menssaging app should i use for secure communications? i need an app that balances simplicity and security.
-how to explain it to my friends who use signal because i recomended?
-what this means for other apps in general?
This doesn't really make sense to me, what do you mean? Client-side you do different computation for sealed sender delivery/receipt. What's your normal standard of trust that a hosted, open source project is running the same code that they've made public?
I think if they store any metadata that we don't know about, the lie runs very very deep, like to conspiracy theory levels that don't really make sense for a registered nonprofit: https://signal.org/bigbrother/
