@signalapp no it's not.

• Otherwise #OrganizedCrime would choose #Signal so hard, you'd be shutdown within weeks by the #FBI and @Mer__edith would be forced to "pull a #LavaBit" and face jailtime for obstruction of justice or snitch on users!

Being a #centralized, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider solution subject to #CloudAct makes you inherently vulnerable by your own choice and thus trivial to shutdown compared to real #E2EE with #SelfCustody of all the keys and true #decentralization as well as #SelfHosting (i.e. #PGP/MIME [see @delta / #deltaChat et. al.] and #XMPP+#OMEMO [see @monocles / #monoclesChat et. al.]!)

• Plus neither of those shill #Shitcoin-#Scams like #MobileCoin!

And don't even get me started on you collecting #PII (espechally #PhoneNumbers) for no valid reason, (thus violating #GDPR & #BDSG)...

• Not to mention relying ob #charity and being a #VCmoneyBurningParty isn't sustainable to begin with!

But yeah, I'll be patient to shout "#ToldYaSo" to your annoying cult of fanboys!

@GrapheneOS @signalapp only time will tell, but right now I've been correct about #CryptoAG, #LavaBit, #EncroChat, #ANØM, etc.

So farewell...

#thxbye #EOD

@GrapheneOS It doesn't change the fact that #security requires #transparency and thus full access & reproduceability from source.

To give you a good example, source-available #Tarsnap demonstrates that stuff is truly securely encrypted by enabling #SelfCustody of keys and thus show they can't decrypt anything!

• You may call me paranoid, but having 'massive trust issues' saved not only my own life more often than I'd be able to disclose so you may see this as a 'survivorship bias', but we'll only see #MassSurveillance becoming impossible when people ain't just users of some big-ass platform that can be easily targeted once it becomes inconvenient for it's host nation, but actually push for #decentralization and #TechLiteracy.

"Just use A, B, C & D, E, F" is the real threat as it sugfests people a false sense if security.

• Just like a dresh #TechInspection doesn't prevent one to hose an engine due to lack of oil!

Collecting any #PII IS the illicit activity NO MATTER the excuse...

• You may choose ignorance but like with #LavaBit, #EncroChat & #ANØM I tend to turn out to be right all along.

Sooner or later the #Enshittification of #Signal will reach a point where you'd rethink and consider apologizing...
