@tagomago @_elena @marleenstikker also that doesn't help when @signalapp and it's supplier, #Amazon #aws, are all falling.under #CloudAct.

• If #Signal was secure, @Mer__edith would be in jail and it's service would've been shutdown like #EncroChat a long time ago!

@divVerent The problem is that @signalapp mandates #PII like #PhoneNumbers, which is critical for said #phishing...

• If they actually did their infrastrutre setup correctly, this would not have been possible in the first place - ffs!
  • That's why I've never even seen nor heard of any #PhishingAttacks on #XMPP+#OMEMO because you don't have to self-d0x to a #centralized, proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider messenger which can't even be assed to get their garbage off #aws!

#Signal can spout all their "#Metadata" - #FUD all day but in the end they fall under #CloudAct and will snitch on users because if they didn't it would've been a statistical inevitability that @Mer__edith and #Moxie would've been in jail and Signal shutdown like #EncroChat was.

• Make of that what you will, but demanding a #PhoneNumber [which is either directly ("#KYC!") or indirectly / circumstantially linked to a person should be seen as *THE BIGGEST RED FLAG for any service.
  • It's like asking for an #ID at a store not as means to "verify age" with like a #DOB & Photo on something not trivial to forge but rather demanding someone's address just to buy a beer!

@DekOfTheYautja PRECISELY THAT!

• Everyone with two braincells should come to the conclusion that @signalapp / #Signal is.just a successor project to #MINERVA / #Rubikon (aka. #CryptoAG) and #OperationIronside / #OperationTrøjanShield.
  • Because otherwise they would've been already shutdown like #EncroChat and not "let run" like #ANØM…

@benroyce @FQQD I know the details:

@signalapp are criminally incompetent like #EncroChat at best if not a #HoneyPot like #ANØM aka. #OperationIronside aka. #OperationTrøjanShield...

#Signal #Govware #incompetence #PII #PhoneNumbers #ToldYaSo

@Xtreix well, @GrapheneOS chose their requirements and they can happily design their own platform instead.

• I just think that their stubbornness makes them look like Stallmanist extremists to the point of being unbearable cringe and completely loosing the plot.
  • They are the antithesis to #Tails when it comes to #UserFriendly-ness and approachability for #Normies and #TechIlliterates.

To the point that it's cheaper to go black/red and teach that to people, even at the risk of inconvenience.

• I mean, in many juristictions one will have to do so anyway, but that's not tue point here…

I think #GrapheneOS prefer to "die on their hill" of "moral superiority" than fave the reality that 99% of people can't and won't blow $500 - $1000+ on a phone when any half-decent Netbook with @tails_live , @torproject and #4G or #5G modem can do the same.

• Espechally since the problems woth #MobilePhones and the underlying technology ain't fixable with an #Android-ROM.
  • Instead we need to foster a #SecurityCulture and proper #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec.

Otherwise we'll see them fail the same way @signalapp did, which is eitger getting shut down (#EncroChat-style) or being uncovered as a controlled opposition / honeypot (like #ANØM aka. #OperationIronside aka. #OperationTrøjanShield)…
