@artfulmodder last time I checked @signalapp still demanded #PII in.the form of a #PhoneNumber, still peddled the #MobileCoin #Shitcoin #Scam and didn't move out of the #Cyberfacist #USA despite #CloudAct being nothing new!

• Not to mention #Signal is both able and willing to discriminate against users based off said PII. Just because they do it for "#Sanctions #Compliance" diesn't mean they ain't gonna change that nor that @Mer__edith (or anyone else at Signal) could be bribed or threatened to do so.

They are #centralized #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider and are thus a #SinglePointOfFailure per design!

• Unlike @delta (which is #PGP/MIME in a different UI) or #XMPP+#OMEMO (which you can use via @torproject / #Tor and connect to a Server that is an #OnionService.

IMHO "memory tagging" is the least of Signal's problems. To me they stench "#ControlledOpposition" just as hard as #ANØM and incompetence as hard as #EncroChat!

@adisonverlice it's not just re: #Governments (tho #Project2025 explicitly endorses unsactioned comms to twart attempts at #FIOA or any #accountability for that matter), but individuals or any organization:

• If a system is #centralized as in #SingleVendor and/or #SingleProvider, it's inherently vulnerable.

And if #EncroChat got pwned, who's gonna guarantee @signalapp won't if it's actually secure or isn't an #InsideJob like #ANØM.

After all, both #Signal's Organization and key people like @Mer__edith are known to the authorities by more than just their legal name.

• What's gonna prevent #Trump from doing a "bag&drag" on her or getting his goons to put a gun on,the developers' heads and force them to,#d0x all users and #backdoor everything (if they didn't already got forced to have some "#LafwulInterception" gear in a closet like #Room641A...

After all, Signal can't pull the 5th and refuse to comply!
