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?

Providing you trust Intel SGX (and AWS for giving them access to actual SGX and not just emulating a compromised instruction set)

What conspiracy? CPU bugs aren't a conspiracy, they are just a fact. Amazon's involvement with American three letter agencies isn't a conspiracy, it's a fact.

Yea but if you worry about CPU bugs there is no such thing as trust, no matter who owns the infrastructure. Any software can have critical bugs and any system that can be accessed remotely can be compromised. Personally I'd trust the people at Signal that they have made a reasonable architecture section to balance availability and privacy
