I know, it’s just a “Someone Is Wrong On The Internet” piece, but that NYTimes piece about Why Signal Is Bad And Privacy Is Bad needs to be refuted in a compact explainer, so here’s mine: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2022/12/29/Privacy-is-OK
Privacy Is OK

@timbray My biggest issue with Signal is it's not federated. Signal won't let third party clients on the network.

Also, the protocol does have flaws around metadata.

But these are minor complaints. The overall message is good. We must have end-to-end encrypted communication. Signal is a great start!

P.S. I wrote my own p2p end-to-end encrypted communication system. love p2p and encrypted communications 🙂
