🤫 A story shared by Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter, uncovered that the current leaders of Signal, an allegedly “secure” messaging app, are activists used by the US state department for regime change abroad 🥷

🥸 The US government spent $3M to build Signal's encryption, and today the exact same encryption is implemented in WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Google Messages and even Skype. It looks almost as if big tech in the US is not allowed to build its own encryption protocols that would be independent of government interference 🐕🦺
🕵️♂️ An alarming number of important people I've spoken to remarked that their “private” Signal messages had been exploited against them in US courts or media. But whenever somebody raises doubt about their encryption, Signal's typical response is “we are open source so anyone can verify that everything is all right”. That, however, is a trick 🤡
🕵️♂️ Unlike Telegram, Signal doesn't allow researchers to make sure that their GitHub code is the same code that is used in the Signal app run on users' iPhones. Signal refused to add reproducible builds for iOS, closing a GitHub request from the community. And WhatsApp doesn't even publish the code of its apps, so all their talk about “privacy” is an even more obvious circus trick💤
https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS/issues/641
🛡 Telegram is the only massively popular messaging service that allows everyone to make sure that all of its apps indeed use the same open source code that is published on Github. For the past ten years, Telegram Secret Chats have remained the only popular method of communication that is verifiably private 💪

Read the issue. Apple makes it basically impossible because they change a bunch of random shit from the submitted app to the one you actually download. Notably, they add their own drm, which requires a jailbroken device to reverse.

You should just accept the fact that none of them are secure from governments. Maybe if you send encrypted messages over tor from a laptop connected to your local mcdonald's wifi you might have some level of anonymity but anything less than that and you're potentially identifiable.
You also shouldn't really care whether the government can read your messages because they don't really give a frick about your porn picture exchange group or whatever you're stressing about. Unless you're doing relatively high level terrorist group stuff no one's gonna bother you. You're not that important.

I'm not qualified to evaluate the security, but Signal is Moxie Marlinspike who is cute and weird and , Telegram is some shady Ruskies who rolled their own crypto. Reproducible builds are nice and w/e but it doesn't matter if it's backdoored at the source.

I live my life with the assumption that every single site and app I use are bugged to heck and back by both feds and all the corpos in the world and that internet privacy is just a feel good delusion.
But I also have a very boring life and no fed would care about me, either domestic or foreign. Best defence against feds isn't some technology or protocol, is simply being a normie

I advise jannies and admiggers people to familiarize themselves with some points about the rdrama posters ( dramneurodivergents) before rushing into anything.
They don't follow your movies and TV shows at all, but post about them obsessively.
They are very bothered by your media or social media distractions.
Psychological warfare is utterly useless against them.
They are natural-born shitposters, really, no kidding.
Their life goal since childhood has been to farm updoots.
The last will and testament passed down from their ancestors is to document Penny Oaken.
At the very least, they have 4 to 5 messageboards of posting experience in various domains.
They have all written and recorded their tranifestos in both audio and video formats.
The martyrdom of one of them is a tremendous source of pride for their children, family, village, province, and country.
Their longposters passionately glorify chuddery more than any love, flirtation, or romance poetry.
They all obey their leader, Carpdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Aevann, with absolute obedience.
Their only fear is the punishment and wrath of reddit admins if they fail to support their latest unfunny bait sub.
They love bussy as much as you love life, if not more.

Sure they can, but would they? Sounds like a pain in the butt, especially if it's government requesting it. And if word got out, it would be bad for business. Stupid pinko.
