The annoying nerds who said you should install Linux, use decentralised social media, use Signal secure messenger were right.
Control of our own computing is a prerequisite for freedom.
The internet *is* real life.
The fact that Signal is operated on a central server based in US is absolutely a cause for concern. Even if the encryption system is sound, and messages cannot be decrypted by a third party, there’s still a question of the server having the ability to map out who talks to whom via the server. Another thing to consider is that encryption that’s sound today, could be broken in the future. So, if these messages are shared with the government, then they could be decrypted in the future.
