Comment on Signal is Flawed, Why XMPP is Amazing! (new animated video)

Literally your very first point is complete bollocks. The entire point of the way Signal works is that you don’t have to trust the backend in order to communicate securely, so it doesn’t matter what backend they were using even if your red-string-on-the-wall suggestion that anything running on AWS is run by the CIA made sense.

To be fair (and this is something I don't recall being established with or dealt with in the video) you need to at least trust that the backend is there. Currently if "lol CIA AWS" servers are not working, you don't have an option (Advanced Settings or whatever) in Signal to choose another provider, such as say a self-hosted community server.
