Also the blatant dismissal of absolitely basic #OpSec & #ComSec is just flabberghasting.

• It's inherently wrong to put all eggs in one basket and #Signal being not shut down like #SkyECC & #EncroChat makes it just as sus as #ANØM / #OperationIronside / #OperatioTrøjanShield and #CryptoAG / #MINERVA / #RUBIKON.

Only #decentralized, #OpenSource & #OpenStandards can actuall survive long-term and remain #secure.

• Otherwise we'd all gaslight ourselves into ignoring the hard lessions we learned that bought us to the #Fediverse and why we ain't on #Shitter or #tumblr or #BrownSky or #NSAbook (any more)!

It's the same reasons we use #PGPG/MIME & #SSH and not #X400 & #X25!

• Unlike with @signalapp one doesn't has to trust the provider or app. #XMPP+#OMEMO works regardless if you use @monocles or @gajim or do #SelfHosting and only trust code you wrote yourself...

IOW: Think "How can you weaponize Signal?" and see what you csn do just holding key people in contempt...

• And I'm not even talkibg about #Govware - #Backdoors and #MassSurveillance alike #Room651A, but just duely submitted warrants that @Mer__edith will comply with...

The less #info a provider has, the less they can be forced to snitch upon customers.

• So even if you don't give a shit that #CloudAct makes this a "#CantUse & #WintUse" (out of US-centrist privilegue to not comply #GDPR & #BDSG) for many, it's still dishonest.

"#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.

• There's a reason why @tails_live / @tails / #Tails doesn't include #Signal and why I'll say it again that XMPP+OMEMO over @torproject / #Tor is the gold standard in terms of #privacy and #security when it comes to #ComSec that isn't #airgapped aka. "Airgapped PGP".

The only ones that have a chance to beat that are @delta / #deltaChat but that's just #PGP/MIME #eMail in a nice UI...

• You may now laugh at me and think my "#TinfoilHat sits too tight" but I'm shure sooner or later I'll be evidenced as correct...

@steeps @vultureculture @signalapp

#InconvenientTruth is inconvenient!

Cuz when push comes to shove @Mer__edith will talk - they always do!

• The same fools that trust #centralized, #proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider systems like #Signal also trusted #CryptoAG, #SkyECC, #EncroChat & #ANØM aka. #OperationIronside aka. #OperationTrøjanShield before...

But hey, feel free to take the gamble if you believe the #christofacist #Trump-Regime won't target you sooner or later.

Nehmt mich raus - es ist sinnlos mit digitalen Flacherdlern zu diskutieren...

Die Leute von der #CryptoAG vertrauten auch sich selbst...

Und die Leute bei #ANØM verkauften sich auch als absolut sicher....

• Weil #OperationIronside / #OperationTrøjanShield dahinter stand.

#FACT:

• @signalapp / #Signal is subject to #CloudAct and thus inherently incompatible with #GDPR & #BDSG!

• Signal demands #PII in the form of a #PhoneNumber!

• Signal to this day peddles a #Shitcoin named #MobileCoin!

• If Signal didn't have a #Govware #Backdoor, it would've been banned and shut down just like #EncroChat and #SkyECC.

• Signal is as secure as #ANØM aka. #OperationIronside aka. #OperationTrøjanShield and #CryptoAG aka. #MINEROVA aka. #Rubikon.

#ToldYaSo guys!

#ProTip: Use #XMPP+#OMEMO!

@Faxfux Wie wäre es mit #Nein?

• @signalapp ist wegen #CloudAct und #MobileCoin #Scam eh für die Tonne.

• Ich empfehle @monocles / #monoclesChat & @gajim / #gajim für #XMPP+#OMEMO...

Das geht ganz ohne #Google dank @fdroidorg / #Fdroid...

• Und ja, #Signal ist so sicher wie die Produkte der #CryptoAG und #ANØM!

#ToldYaSo

@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...

@sylv_a personally, I'd recommend #XMPP+#OMEMO (and #PGP/MIME - encrypted #eMail) for real #E2EE with #SelfCustody of Keys as well as actual #decentralization.

• All #SingleVendor and/or #SingleProvider solutions are inherently insecure, if not due to #TechStack (i.e. using a #CDN like #ClownFlare for app assets with no valid reason), #PII (demaning a #PhoneNumber which oftentimes cannot be obtained anonymously for no valod reason!) or lack of #DataProtection #Laws (i.e. #CloudAct is inherently incompatible with #GDPR & #BDSG), it's due to the inherent risks of #centralization.

Cuz I noone's gonna risk jailtime for (non-paying!) users - it at all…

• Not even @Mer__edith !

In fact I'd call U.S. MIL/INTEL as "criminally incompetent" if they didn't manage to plant multiple people inside @signalapp / #Signal or any other single-vendor / single-provider messenger.

• Cuz if Signal wasn't #NOBUS, they would've been shutdown/taken down/criminalized/hacked like #EncroChat and #SkyECC.

Personally, solutions like Signal & #Threema have a stench like #CryptoAG / #MINERVA / #Rubikon and #ANØM / #OperationIronside / #OperationTrøjanShield.

By contrast: #OpenStandards like XMPP+OMEMO & PGP/MIME are independently verifyable and not dependent on on a single individual/organization for maintenance/survival/implementation/development.

• Also not depending on #GAFAMs and/or #VCmoneyBurningParties is way more sustainable long-term...

Personally I'd still recommend @monocles / #monocles with #monoclesChat & #gajim...
