i've just seen a comment in a post, in this very community, saying people trust signal because of missinformation (from what i could undertand).
if this is true, then i have a few questions:
-what menssaging app should i use for secure communications? i need an app that balances simplicity and security.
-how to explain it to my friends who use signal because i recomended?
-what this means for other apps in general?
Its in usa, and its big. The chance that its compromised by cia is 100%.
Considering that all other alternatives are either
I consider Signal to be the best option out there. It’s not perfect, but nothing is. It simply is the best general option out there, by far, for a general audience.
Yes, you can be totally secure, untraceable, and ultimately unfindable. But being cut into pieces, with each separate piece entombed in its own barrel of concrete, and each barrel dropped into a different oceanic trench, tends to be a bit beyond what I consider to be reasonable to achieve that.
everyone around here talking about the CIA and nation states as part of their threat model...
bro... you're worried about the CIA and mossad, and you think spinning up your own chat servers (simplex, matrix, etc.) as an amateur sysadmin is going to be MORE secure?
XD you think the CIA can't crack your closet server? Bruh, get real.
