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

    Isn’t it open source?

    Oh, you think that they show you the actual door? They don’t - ever.

    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.
