Also the blatant dismissal of absolitely basic #OpSec & #ComSec is just flabberghasting.
Only #decentralized, #OpenSource & #OpenStandards can actuall survive long-term and remain #secure.
It's the same reasons we use #PGPG/MIME & #SSH and not #X400 & #X25!
IOW: Think "How can you weaponize Signal?" and see what you csn do just holding key people in contempt...
The less #info a provider has, the less they can be forced to snitch upon customers.
"#JustUseSgnal!" is a form of dangerous "#TechPopulism" aimed at bamboozling #TechIlliterates who don't know better, abusing information asymetry to pull rank instead of investing the time and effort to *explain "how" and "why" this is indeed a good or bad idea.
The only ones that have a chance to beat that are @delta / #deltaChat but that's just #PGP/MIME #eMail in a nice UI...
@wmd Instead of using #ProtonMail which is as "#Swiss Secure" as #CryptoAG aka. #MINERVA / #RUBIKON or * Swiss Banks since #FATCA*...
Personally, I can recommend @monocles / #monoclesMail...
@rysiek *yet another reason why I think @signalapp is just a successor to #CryptoAG aka. #M'INERVA / #RUBIKON...
#CryptoLeaks 2.0 - when?
@zdl @evacide that any the fact that @signalapp is incorportated in the #USA, making them susceptible to #GDPR & #BDSG-incompatible #cyberfacist bs like #CloudAct.
Remember: #KYC IS THE ILLICIT ACTIVITY when it comes to #Communication!
Compare that to @monocles / #monoclesChat which don't demand any PII or KYC and allow people to pay for their services with #Monero and #CashByMail besides #SEPA #WireTransfer, #Stripe & #PayPal whilst supporting both decentralization (#XMPP is not a #SingleVendor / #SingleProvider solution!), implementing real #SelfCustody (#OMEMO, #OTR & #PGP is supported out of the box) for all the keys, and proper #Anonymitiy (using @torproject / #Tor & @guardianproject #Orbot for #privacy), so in case they ever get a duely sumitted warrant by a court they'd have to comply with, they'll most likely have no data whatsoever on clients that could allow identification.
Also having no PII is a matter of reducing #liabiluty in the sense of #DataProtection: All data requested and by #monocles is the bare minimum mandated for #accounting...
@GrapheneOS @signalapp only time will tell, but right now I've been correct about #CryptoAG, #LavaBit, #EncroChat, #ANØM, etc.
So farewell...
@PrivacyDigest ressing X for doubt re: their claims...
@Mer__edith @echo_pbreyer then why does @signalapp not follow through on it's actions and cease operations not only in #cyberfacist regimes like #Russia and #Iran but also relocate out.of range of #CloudAct and completely #decentralize to the point it's not possible to shutdown?
These questions remain unanswered, because Signal, like #ANØM and #CryptoAG before is a #Honeypot.
@technodad @mattblaze Another #FunFact: Due to the #backdoored #CryptoAG #ciphermachines and thus insight into all communications, the #US was able to influence #UN founding members to locate in #NYC instead of #Switzerland like the #LeagueOfNations before or any other #neutral country for that matter...
@LovesTha @josh that's not how it works at all!
@signalapp isn't like a #Bank that has to comply with #KYC & #AML in order to provide even the most basic payment processing functionality...
Stop defending a #Honeypot that is more obvious than #CryptoAG was post - "Causa Hans Bühler"...

@hexaheximal@blob.cat @protonmail @esm @hexaheximal@wetdry.world
1. People said the same about #CryptoAG...
And sadly my gut feeling and the Intel I get is way more reliable than marketing lies.
Let's just say if I was wrong I'd already be dead a dozen times...
2. It's not dead, because I can just open it, even on Mobile.
Great thread about the backdoored #CryptoAG devices:
@davidrevoy @protonmail
The longer I look at them, the more it reminds me of #CryptoAG...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto_AG
It has the same "stench" and "notoriety" to the point that I'd call the same 3-letter-agencies "criminally incompetent" if they didn't already place multiple people inside if not set it up as replacement for #MINERVA...

@saladcat I know that they're in #Andorra and don't even have any legal imprint on their page...
But hey, at least they don't try to sell me some #Govware-#Backdoored #Encryption like #CryptoAG did...
@ahriboy Unlike @torproject which is sufficiently decentralized that people from the #TorProject can't shutdown #OnionServices [otherwise they would've been forced at gunpoint several times already], #ProtonMail stinks #Honeypot like #CryptoAG did since The Causa Bühler...
In fact @protonmail snitches on users constantly and I'd also not trust @Tutanota in that sense.
