As Signal get your phone number. Can we considerate this application as private ? What’s your thoughts about it ? I’m also using SimpleX, ElementX, Threema, but not much people using it…
Cheers

No worries, it’s not my main (or second) language either, it’s just that no backdoor is explained in that link.
I’m just curious.
Oh, you think that they show you the actual door? They don’t - ever. But read the article again. Do you think that any agency will post millions into an app, where they don’t have a backdoor? The article clearly describes how the privacy part has been weakened.
Isn’t it open source?
In open source projects they indeed do show the backdoor. That’s is one of the key points of open source (along with free-ish terms of use). Closed source projects just say “there aren’t any” without showing anything.
I’ve said many times I’m critical of Signal & ready to switch, but backdoor seems unconfirmed.
I’m sorry to hear that you don’t really get how this works. Do read the article and stop wasting my time here. Thanks.
